------------------------------------

"Emperor penguins defy the odds, and I shall too.”

Still fiery and feisty at eighty-seven, Veronica McCreedy, the very first Penguin Ambassador, is determined to prove that nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it.

Eileen, Veronica’s ever-patient assistant, is content taking care of other people. But when a new adventure calls, it makes her question everything...

Ten-year-old, penguin-obsessed Daisy can’t wait to be reunited with Mrs McCreedy in her huge house by the sea for the school holidays.

When they discover that the local Sea Life Centre is under threat, the unlikely trio are determined to save it and the penguins that live there.

Inspired by the penguins and fuelled by Darjeeling tea and finger sandwiches, they embark on an epic fundraising walk. But soon, their mission becomes so much more and it might just lead each of them to a new beginning...

MEDIA REVIEWS

The final outing for Hazel Prior's redoubtable and wonderfully quirky heroine, Veronica McCreedy, is just as heart-warming and original as her previous books. An absolute delight from start to finish. - Trisha Ashley

This book is GORGEOUS! It brings happiness. - Tracy Rees

Another glorious triumph from Prior. The characters - human and penguin - felt like friends and the ending was everything I could have wanted. Moving and gripping, it's a read to savour. Prior's beautifully descriptive, confident prose leads you on an epic adventure with Veronica, Eileen and Daisy. A novel full of hope, full of humour, and a sharp reminder that we need to take action to protect the things we love. Be more Veronica McCreedy! - Samantha Tonge
