The Quest of the Puzzled Penguins

The Cook Family has traveled all the way to Patagonia-right to the edge of the world!

But uh-oh... a whole colony of confused penguins needs their help. The local research team is worried the penguin nests might not be ready before the fluffy new chicks hatch. In this chilly adventure, the Cook siblings battle raging storms, dodge shady villains, and team up with a brand-new friend to crack the mystery. Can they save the penguins before time runs out?

Global threats like climate change collide with local dangers such as habitat loss in this fast-paced mystery for kids who care about protecting our world.

The Wonder World Kids chapter book series strives to bring global environmental issues closer to readers ages 6 and up by combining contemporary topics with animal adventures.
