A wonderful story about the meaning of loneliness and the importance of friendship.
One day a penguin arrives on a boy’s door step.
The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him. But no one seems to be missing a penguin.
So the boy decides to take the penguin home himself, and they set out in his rowing boat on a journey to the South Pole.
But when they get there, the boy discovers that maybe home wasn’t what the penguin was looking for after all…

‘One of the most perfect stories in recent years featuring… one of the best conclusions in all of children's fiction.

A minor masterpiece and one which will remain with you forever.’ Bury Free Press
