Molly James and her brother, Billy, have done a lot of traveling with their parents. They have just been informed that they are going to Antarctica to study the Emperor Penguin.
Molly begins to have nightmares about penguins, but she can't remember what the dreams are about when she's awake. Molly sees the phantom penguin and tries to tell her family about it. Her parents think she's making it up because she doesn't want to go to Antarctica.
When the family reaches the Arctic, the phantom penguin shows itself to Molly regularly. She begins to think that something bad is going to happen to her family and she tries to warn them, but they just tell her that they don't want to hear about it.
Molly gets lost in a snowstorm, and the only thing she can turn to for help is the phantom penguin.
As children read this story they will learn about the emperor penguin's habitat and survival instincts, as well as be entertained by the story line itself.
