Inky's Great Escape: The Incredible (And Mostly True) Story of an Octopus Escape

In April 2016, The New York Times published an article about an octopus named Inky who escaped from the National Aquarium of New Zealand and made its way through a drain pipe and out into the sea. This book is a fictionalised account of this true story. Inky the octopus is tired of living life out in the sea and decides to retire to the aquarium, where he can enjoy a quiet and safe life. He and his tankmate, Blotchy, pass the time playing card games and making faces at the aquarium visitors. Inky loves regaling his friend with stories of his past escapes - and when Blotchy is sure there's no way Inky could ever escape their tank, Inky is happy to accept the challenge!
