Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life). When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute.

For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life). When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute.

During the Great Depression, city-dweller Addie Cowherd dreams of becoming a novelist and offering listeners the escape that books had given her during her tragic childhood. When her father loses his job, she is forced to take the only employment she can find delivering books on horseback to poor coal-mining families in the hills of Kentucky. But turning a new page will be nearly impossible in Boone's Hollow, where residents are steeped in superstitions and deeply suspicious of outsiders.

Only 22, Emma learned to bake at the side of a master, Ezra Kuchen, the village baker since before she was born. Apprenticed to Ezra at 13, Emma watched with shame and anger as her kind mentor was forced to wear the six-pointed yellow star on his clothing. She was likewise powerless to help when they pulled Ezra from his shop at gunpoint, the first of many villagers stolen away and never seen again. In the years that her sleepy coastal village has suffered under the enemy, Emma has silently, stealthily fought back.

Delightful!
I liked the down to earth telling of this time in the character's life. I was smiling, laughing, and perhaps shed a tear or two.

Yes, Please!
Listening to The Old Ducks’ Club, by Maddie Please, I felt as though I had gone on a carefree vacation to a Greek Isle, had an unexpectedly wonderful time with daring new friends, savored new flavors, had a chance to take stock of my life, and decide on some new directions to explore. I can’t wait for the next adventure!

What a wonderful feel-good book!
A perfectly charming book about putting one foot in front of the other when life throws difficulties your way. Making new friends, finding a new love, letting go of the past, forgiving yourself of failures, standing up for yourself, and seeing the future as a magical new beginning full of possibilities and adventures. Excellent narration.

super cute!
This book is a mixture of "Little Old Lady who Broke All the Rules" and a love story. I can totally see this book as a cute BBC series or movie. It was a fun, light book for anyone

Sweet, fun, relaxing
Many of the reviews said it was laugh out loud funny. I did not find this to be the case, but I did find it to be some very enjoyable, light entertainment. Doesn't take a lot of brain power and certainly won't leave you on the edge of your seat but it was very sweet and the main characters are very likeable. It's not a waste of time or credits though I probably won't read the next in the series.
