What do the ocean and space have in common?
How did octopuses and humans evolve?
What exactly are cephalopods - and why do they have such a funny name?

Octopuses are the oldest and most intelligent creatures on our planet, true aliens whose abilities amaze us. Michael Stavaric and Michèle Ganser have created a non-fiction book full of surprising twists and turns that offer much more than just imparting knowledge. Together with their readers, they embark on an adventure into the world of the octopus.

Full of funny details and vivid descriptions, Amazing Octopus is a book that is as unusual as the octopus itself.

Michael Stavaric was born in Brno in 1972 and works in Vienna as a freelance writer, translator and lecturer. He has received numerous scholarships and awards, including: LeseLenz Prize for Young Literature, Adelbert Chamisso Prize, Austrian State Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature, Children's Book Prize of the City of Vienna, German Design Award, Wartholz Literature Prize and Hohenems Literature Prize. He would have liked to be a marine biologist and now he writes children's books, novels, plays and poetry. When he's not writing books, he spends his time making nature documentaries. Michèle Ganser was born in Aachen in 1995 and studied communication design in Aachen and Mainz. She is particularly fascinated by space, the stars and the different planets. In her illustrations, she combines exciting topics in an unusual way and thus creates completely new worlds. In her free time she likes to read - preferably science fiction novels.
