    Softcover (Horizontal), 9-in. x 6 1/2-in., 184 pages, B&W.

    NOTE: "It's hard to say where the strength of OCTOPUS PIE really is because Meredith can juggle so many things so well-the humor, the natural touch in the dialogue, the relatability of the characters in the world that she has created. There is a complex, empathetic sort of quality to that world and you feel rather at home in it." - Kate Beaton, Hark!
