Out of the Blue by Nic Yulo

In this touching story, a girl and an octopus unexpectedly connect over feeling small in a big world.

Coral has big dreams about grand adventures—but it’s hard to go after these big dreams when you’re the smallest in the class and feel completely invisible. During a school trip to the aquarium, Coral finds a kindred spirit in Kraken, a small octopus who knows that being invisible isn’t always a bad thing.



When Coral finds herself in the aquarium after everyone else goes home, she learns that being seen isn’t always about how big you are.
