Who knew we needed another Mrs McCreedy book?! Of course we did, but what a lovely surprise. Veronica is as feisty and fiery as ever and very much determined to prove that nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it. Full of the wit, wisdom and wonderful-ness that we’ve come to know and love from Hazel Prior’s writing, this is a beautiful conclusion to the penguin trilogy.
Beneath the books heart-warming exterior is an underlying message gently reminding us of the impacts of climate change and the world and creatures that we are set to lose. Never preaching but always prompting, Hazel Prior is very skilled at bringing important messages into her fiction, many of which will bring the reader to tears. This is a satisfying conclusion to Veronica’s story and that of many of the main characters that have accompanied her along the way.
About the Book
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 and finger sandwiches, they embark on an epic fundraising walk. But soon their mission to save the penguins becomes so much more and it might just lead each of them to a new beginning…
