Call of the Penguins by Hazel Prior
I give this book 4.5 stars
87 year old Veronica McCreedy has recently discovered a late-life love for family and friendship, adventure and wildlife.
More specifically, a love for penguins!
And so when she's invited to co-present a wildlife documentary, far away in the southern hemisphere, she jumps at the chance.
Perhaps it’s never too late….to shine?
This is one of those rare books that has that perfect mix of a beautifully written story and location with equally strong well rounded characters to connect with..For me the narrative was totally absorbing and the uplifting plot warmed my heart with emotion. It also portrays an important message about looking after nature and thinking about packaging.l found the Penguins informative and delightful.
A book ld highly recommend
