When their care-free lives are suddenly turned upside down, Jack and Ruby must remain strong as the hope for change.

Eight at a Time deals with the big issue of child slavery in a way that small people can understand.
This story follows two young octopuses, Jack and Ruby, who are deceived by a cruel crab and forced to make bricks - eight at a time.
