Lily is a dog and the Octopus is her tumor, which her loving best friend, Ted, has christened in order to make sense of the awful thing that is happening to his pet, with whom he can communicate. This is a quirky and heart wrenching tale of companionship, love, loss and friendship and has significant buzz for the debut author Rowley.
