Murderer's Ape!
England, 1893, and aquarium fever is at its height.
Twelve-year-old Vinnie Fyfe works in the tea-shop at Brighton
aquarium, and waits for her milliner mother to return from Paris.
The arrival of a giant octopus changes her life for ever. Discovering

beast.
She soon realises she can communicate with the octopus through
colour and – as a gripping mystery begins to unfold –
discovers what true courage really means ...

acclaimed Lindsay Galvin, author of Darwin's Dragons - A gripping Victorian mystery with a touching connection
between a young girl and an octopus at its heart - Strong STEM and natural history themes with an underwater
twist - Effortlessly blends exciting adventure with a rip-roaring
historical mystery and non-fiction elements

I love.' EMMA CARROLL
