When a local -- and rare -- penguin population is threatened, it's
up to a girl, a dog, and a penguin to protect the colony from
danger, in this heartwarming story of friendship and teamwork by
Michelle Schusterman! Penguin Island is known for being home to a
rare population of fairy penguins, separated from the mainland by a
narrow strip of land. Trouble is, that strip of land becomes
exposed during low tide, and a local pack of foxes has discovered
it! When twelve-year-old Addie Jenkins realizes how vulnerable the
penguins are, she decides to take action with Max, her faithful and
protective sheepdog, by her side. Max becomes the colony's
protector, keeping the foxes at bay and teaching the penguins how
to defend themselves. But Darwin, a young and rambunctious penguin,
doesn't trust Max, and the two can't seem to agree over what's best
for the colony. That's when a bad thunderstorm strikes, leaving the
penguins suddenly alone and without protection. Will Max and Darwin
be able to set aside their differences and work together to save
the colony?

A lost bunny teams up with a rascally, streetwise puppy to find her
way home in this adorable friendship story set in New York City.
Laura Rodriguez's pet bunny, Evie, is kind of a star: She's the
mascot of the Rodriguez family's corner bodega in Harlem. Local
residents stop by the small store every day just to see Evie. And
even though people tend to make Evie nervous, Evie knows she's safe
as long as Laura is around. But when Laura and her family go out of
town for a few days, Evie suddenly finds herself in unfamiliar
surroundings. Laura couldn't have meant to leave Evie with the
snooty Mrs. Vanderwaal, could she? Frightened, Evie makes a run for
it, determined to find her way back to the bodega - even though she
has no idea where she is. All she knows is that she's in a vast
green park in the center of New York City. That's when Evie meets
the streetwise Bart, a stray Shiba Inu pup who is perfectly fine
being on his own. He doesn't need an owner, thank you very much.
Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a journey to cross Central
Park, encountering countless tourists, dastardly dog catchers, and
other animals. It's a long way, but if they can set aside their
differences and work together, then maybe - just maybe - they can
find their way home.
