An octopus evades various predators through camouflage, releasing ink, and other adaptations while searching for her own meal. The suspenseful present-tense narrative is supplemented throughout by additional italicized fact asides and moody, evocative illustrations resembling paper collage. Back matter includes more on octopuses and other marine animals along with activity suggestions aimed at teachers and parents.
