Veronica McCreedy can't resist the promise of adventure . . .
Nine-year-old Daisy and nearly ninety-year-old Veronica make an unlikely pair of friends.
Fiercely independent and impeccably dressed, Veronica has lived an incredible 87 years. Most of them alone, in her huge house by the sea. But with the arrival of brave and resilient Daisy into her life, Veronica finds she has a renewed thirst for adventure - and that they both share a passion for penguins!
So when Veronica and Daisy are invited to travel to the other side of the world together and visit the penguins of the southern hemisphere, they both jump at the chance.
Veronica had thought her days of new friendships, family and love were over, but perhaps it's never too late for one more adventure?

The book follow the lives of Veronica and Patrick on their next steps of their lives. The book looks into family relationships.... the good, the bad and how to build one together. The book also looks into how humans are impacting the planet and the subsequent impact on wildlife, including the penguins.
87 year old Veronica is asked by Sir Robert Saddlebow to join him on a wildlife documentary on sea birds, with Veronica working on the penguin slots... The little penguins on Ginty Island and the Rock hoppers on the Falklands.
This book makes you laugh, cry and increased my desire to visit the continent to see the little rascals myself!"
