Suddenly, a young octopus named Cleo startles the children, but the three soon become good friends. Yet as the tide comes back in, Lila discovers her feet are stuck in the mud. Will Cleo be able to help her in time and save the day? "Rylant has that rare power to write about happiness without being overly sentimental ..." -Booklist
