Bella is thrilled to be joining her mum on an expedition to study penguins on the Antarctic coast. While exploring one of the islands she discovers an unusual penguin with a pale brown coat instead of the typical black.?

But before Bella can investigate further, she spots an old pirate ship sailing to the island, then she blinks -and it disappears! Bella is convinced that she imagined it, until she goes out searching for the pale penguin again and bumps into a boy named Jules. He has arrived with a group of sailors from the 1800s, and they’re desperate to catch the rare penguin for themselves…

A magical wintry tale from best-selling author Holly Webb. For fans of Michael Morpurgo andTHE SNOW FOAL, this is the perfect book to snuggle up with and enjoy this winter.
