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

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sebastià Serra. When Inky, the "greatest escape octopus of all time," retires to the aquarium, his tank-mate Blotchy doesn't believe his wild stories, so Inky stages one final astonishing escape: out of the aquarium. Unbelievable but true(ish), this entertaining story about the Houdini of cephalopods, who escaped the National Aquarium of New Zealand in 2016, is accompanied by eye-pleasing pencil and ink illustrations in neon-bright digital colors.
