Where are we?!
Two adopted sisters, Becky and Sonya, get a big surprise when a beam of light transports them to Antarctica! They are surrounded by penguins as their adventure begins! When a baby penguin follows them home, they see just how fun and wacky life can be. Their attempts to get him back to his penguin family don't go as expected; they never know where the light beam will take them next. Join Becky and Sonya on their exciting, magical journey!
Pesky Penguins is a heartwarming story of the importance of family, developing responsibility, and helping others.
Janice Laakko is the award-winning author of Gloppy, the first book in The Dee Lanson Series

I loved how imaginative this children's book was.... The writing has a lot of warmth, and you can tell the author really understands the way kids think, how every moment can turn from ordinary to magical in an instant.... I'd recommend Pesky Penguins to kids around 7 to 10 years old, or to parents who love reading whimsical adventure stories with their children. It's perfect for bedtime reading because each chapter feels like a mini adventure. It's sweet, simple, and full of lessons about kindness, family, and letting go when the time comes. Plus, who doesn't love a story with a pesky little penguin? 5-star Literary Titan
