Year 7 English teacher here – I need a (fiction) book that's going to keep a VERY energetic 12yo entertained for silent reading time. His special interest is octopuses. Octopi? Octopodes? I'm sure he could tell me the right term.
I initially thought a Cthulu story, but the horror stuff might be too much for him – and I don't want to get the parents offside.
Anything you'd recommend? It's a somewhat conservative Christian school, so what you might assume would be fine for a 12yo, I'd probably need to scale back a bit – so think late primary school level. Sigh. Yeah, I know. I want to challenge them, too, but… well, it is what it is.
Lay the recs on me.

there are octopus characters in one piece, but theyre pretty far past the opening of the manga. it’s pirate/nautical themed and its literally the most popular manga in the world
