Book Reportr on REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt

Book report on REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt. Not long ago I saw a video on how smart and mechanical minded octopi are and they have been on my mind since. This book came along and I read it. It is the first book by Shelby Van Pelt. The story takes place in a small seaside town in the state of Washington. Zooming in, it focuses in on a select bunch of people who have regular jobs for the area they live in, like the Marina for example. Chances are you know of somebody that could would fit right in with this bunch. The marina has some local sea life to see, for a price. One of the creatures on display is an octopus. He is cunning and keeps a diary in his mind. After closing time he has a run of the building. He can only be out of the water for a short time. He unlocks doors, padlocks and so on. He fascinated by human finger prints. Somehow the octopus has figure out the genealogy line of his keeper. I think he did it with the humans’ finger prints. I got lost in the explanation. It is a good clean book (discounting the smell of fish).
