fimac 's review for:

Away with the Penguins by Hazel Prior
3.0

I sort of enjoyed this book.
veronica is an elderly lady who lives in the South West of Scotland. She is 85 years old and lives alone. She is lonely and wants to do something more with her life. She sees a documentary about Penguins and this sparks an idea. She decides that she wants to learn more about the research that is being done with this particular colony of penguins.
Just before Veronica heads to the research island she discovers that she has a Grandson she never knew about. Will she still go to the research island or stay at home?
I loved Veronica's spunkiness, I hope that I as spunky when I reach 85.
Veronica learns a lot about herself and what she is capable of and what is important to her.
