About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the No.1 bestselling author of Away with the Penguins: the heart-warming and charming final chapter of Veronica McCreedy's story.

"Emperor penguins defy the odds, and I shall too.”

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 becomes so much more and it might just lead each of them to a new beginning...

Heartwarming with strong messages about looking after the planet and the penguin habita and how we can all help.

Brilliant

I have adored each of the Penguin series from Hazel. Veronica McCreedy is one of my all time favourite characters. In her later years she has 'come back to life' as she discovers her calling to protect penguins. This part of her story is heart warming, funny, inspirational and honest. Hazel has created a beautiful cast of characters and unites three generations of women in a wonderful way. Highly recommend.

Veronica is my literary hero!

Lovely story

I've enjoyed all three stories following Veronica McCreedy. This one felt more of a finale than opening up anything new but it was a joy to hear and didn't disappoint.

A lovely finale for all characters

I can’t believe this is the last in the series. Such a good story, such a good ending. Narration was exceptional as always.

Tear jerking but wonderful

Very enjoyable the characters were credible. Lots of really interesting factual information as well about Antarctica and the Falklands and Penguins! Who knew there were so many different types of penguins???!
The audio book is good although I wasn’t sure if Daisy‘s voice changed in the early chapters?
Well worth listening to

Very enjoyable informative read well worth reading if you’re going to Antarctica

I'm afraid that the narration was so irritating that I couldn't get past chapter 3. the story fell very childish but I just couldn't listen any more to find out if it would improve. I read the first book in this series and rather enjoyed it so I may borrow this one from the library and see how it ends.

very disappointed
