7 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
**PRE-ORDER NOW!** 'Hazel Prior's novels always make me smile. Call of the Penguins is the perfect fireside read, and Veronica McCreedy will capture your heart.' TRISHA ASHLEY, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Christmas Invitation Meet the heroine everyone's talking about . . . Fiercely resilient and impeccably dressed, Veronica McCreedy has lived an incredible 87 years. Most of them alone, in her huge house by the sea. But Veronica 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. Even though it will put her in the spotlight, just when she thought she would soon fade into the wings. Perhaps it's never too late to shine?

I really enjoyed How the Penguins Saved Veronica and was happy to see there was a follow up. This is just as good, following Veronica in new penguin adventures with similar environmental messaging. I believe there‘s a third book coming soon and I‘m delighted!

I loved the first book in the series but I actually preferred Veronica‘s escapades in this sequel.

This is the sequel to Away with the penguins which should be read first. We join Veronica who is embarking on another adventure to visit penguins in the Southern Hemisphere. The first book was more entertaining but this focused on the environmental plight of animals in danger. Emotional storylines and great characterisation.

The follow-up to last year‘s Away With the Penguins (known as How The Penguins Saved Veronica in the US) follows the further adventures of Veronica McCreedy, where discovering more about her past, and more about penguins, sees her learning more about human connections. While not having the immediacy of the first book, this is nevertheless another heartwarming story from Prior.

1. Noooo! I‘m way behind. Since we came out of lockdown my life seems to have become busier than it was before the pandemic, I planned for a book a week and am barely managing one a month!

2. The tagged book, the follow-up to last year‘s Away With The Penguins (known as How The Penguins Saved Veronica in the US, I think?), which I absolutely loved.
