In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities — gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. – Simon and Schuster
