Each and every living being in this world has a special language of its own with the help of which it can communicate with the creatures of its specie. However, if living creatures trying to communicate with different species in the same language then this is something that is impossible. Shelby Van Pelt in her first novel has tried to develop such kind of communication between two living beings that are not of the same species.
The first character is Tova who used to have a family in the past and then she lost her husband. After losing her husband she had to work the night shift in order to go on with the family budget. Sowell Bay Aquarium is the place where she mops the floor every night and tries to forget the grief of the past.
Her eighteen year old son also vanished during a boat accident and she has been living in complete sorrow since then. During her work at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, she has developed a friendship with a large old octopus that has been kept there. The old sea creature actually knows what has happened to Tova’s son and it thinks that the boy can still be saved.
Marin Ireland and Michael Urie narrate in fast speed as the octopus tries to establish contact through sign language so that Tova can save her son. Young Jane Young and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow are among the few books that have added new concepts to literature and this first book by the author has broken all those records. The relationship which develops between the woman and the octopus is one of the rarest things that one finds in fiction.
