Summary: When 12-year-old Sid discovers a talking octopus in his family's fish shop, he is Not happy. Sid is trying to keep a low profile from the bullies at school while he waits to get into the art school of his dreams – so the last thing he needs is a pesky, know-it-all, opera-singing octopus called Otto following him around! But when auditions open in town for a new TV talent show, Sid and Otto have the chance to win enough prize money to solve all their problems. Can these frenemies work together to win so that they can go their separate ways, or will it all end in a full-blown televised disaster? Or even worse … will Sid and Otto realise they actually make a pretty great team?
