Penguins Calling

Are there two friend-pairs more unusual than Daisy and Veronica? Daisy is already nine years old, while Veronica will soon be ninety—both of them adore penguins and long for adventures. And if they’re invited to the other side of the Earth to see the penguins of the southern hemisphere, how could they refuse? Maybe Veronica McCridy thought she was already too old for new journeys—but if you’ve got great company and penguins are calling, you can’t ignore it. So, off to the penguins!
