I remember becoming fascinated with sea cucumbers when I was a teenager and I can appreciate that "Aha!" moment when you encounter a species out in the wild, fall in love with it, and want to learn more about it. For Landis the species are mussels. Luckily she is married to a mussel scientist.
In this book she gathers a variety of anecdotes and facts about the bivalves. When the last page is turned her enthusiasm will have turned contagious and you realize that you care about the welfare of this mollusk and how it benefits its environment.
