Lily and the Octopus (#612) author Steven Rowley's debut work, is not your usual dog story. Lily is the narrator's beloved daschund. He suddenly notices after he returns from a trip that Lily is suddenly sporting an octopus on her head! Of course, it's not really an octopus, but it's best to let Ted tell the story his own way.
Even though this is a work of fiction, I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't a memoir, it felt so real and the emotions so strong and true. Believe the cover blurb that says "Powerful enough to make you reach for the box of tissues". I certainly did!
I've never read anything quite like this book, but if you've ever had an animal in your life - or even if you haven't - don't miss this book. It's something special.
