Key Selling Points

• Explores octopus biology, mythology, habitats, habits and threats to survival, including from warming oceans, over-fishing and pollution around the world using STEAM concepts.
• Discusses newest research on octopus intelligence and personality based on interviews with octopus experts.
• Renewed interest in octopuses because of My Octopus Teacher, a documentary about a filmmaker and his friendship with an octopus off the coast of South Africa.
• Author Mark Leiren-Young spent time with Storm, the octopus at the Salish Sea Centre, as part of his research for this book. Storm even grabbed his finger. This is his third book in the Orca Wild series, after Orcas Everywhere and Sharks Forever.
