Thank you Netgalley and Harper Kids for the gifted book I read with the library audio.
by: Lori R. Snyder
narrated by: Angel Pean
rating: really liked
This book is worth reading just for the mimic octopus Ophelia. The way Snyder uses that character as a plot device is so genius and fun. She doesn't speak, but the way she shifts and changes and the descriptions of the colors she becomes added so much to how the emotions in this book leapt off the page. And the mimic octopus is a real creature! Also amidst all the magical angst and fun, there are historical facts about the setting of Venice Beach, California interwoven in the story that made it fun and makes you want to dig into that place more. This book is creativity and well written word pictures on display. If you love inventive writing, you will enjoy this one.
