Book description:
Dive into this cool and delightful aquatic adventure. Ozzie is pretty clever—even for an octopus. He loves to entertain his friends in the coral reef with his playful antics.
When a fisherman catches Ozzie and decides to keep him as a pet, the octopus’s life is transformed. The humans soon discover that Ozzie has “magical” gifts. This is no ordinary octopus!
At first, Ozzie is happy to play along with the humans. Then he realizes that his undersea home is under threat. The humans have been polluting the oceans everywhere. Marine life is in danger and time is running out.
Will Ozzie survive his adventure with the humans? Will his lovely ocean home be destroyed? Will the humans clean up their act before it’s too late?
Although this story is quirky, lighthearted, and full of octopus jokes, it has a serious and important message about protecting our oceans.
