New York Times bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt will host a virtual chat on Wednesday, August 21 at 7:00pm to discuss her debut novel Remarkably Bright Creatures.
 
Remarkably Bright Creatures is centered around a widow’s unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium–and the truths she finally uncovers about her son’s disappearance 30 years ago. Through her charming, compulsively readable, and full-of-wit novel, Van Pelt explores friendship, reckoning, and hope–a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible. 
 
Published by Ecco/HarperCollins (US) and Bloomsbury (UK) in Spring 2022, Remarkably Bright Creatures was an instant New York Times bestseller and has sold a million and a half copies. Register now for a conversation you won’t want to miss!
