The Morristown & Morristown Library is proud to announce the book, “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt, as our 2023 Community Read.
This charming debut novel is a New York Times Best Seller, a Read with Jenna pick, and a nominee for the 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards.
A luminous debut novel about a widow’s unlikely friendship with a curmudgeonly giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium—and, when a mysterious grifter comes to town, the truths all three unlock about her son’s disappearance 30 years ago.
Charming, compulsively readable, and full of wit, Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope—a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
