Meet Puzz-an octopus who's piecing together what it means to be uniquely himself!

Puzz isn't like the other octopuses in Lotusville. With skin made of shimmering puzzle pieces and eight arms that constantly tangle, he's always stood out-and not always in a good way. But when a series of hilarious misadventures (including a glow-in-the-dark disaster, a high-stakes hug competition, and a very suspicious garden gnome) leads him to Grandma Barnacle's mysterious legend, Puzz discovers an incredible secret: his differences might just be his greatest strength.

Packed with humor and heart, this illustrated chapter book is a celebration of:

• Embracing what makes you special
• The power of kindness (and really good hugs)
• Friendship that's stronger than seaweed

Perfect for readers ages 6-10 who love:

. Funny, heartfelt stories like Narwhal and Jelly and The Bad Guys

. Underwater adventures with unforgettable characters

. Books that make them feel seen

Don't miss the book that's leaving readers grinning-and practicing their own octopus hugs!

Perfect for read-aloud classroom moments!
