How the penguins saved Veronica [large print] Hazel Prior.
Eighty-five-year-old Veronica McCreedy is estranged from her family and wants to find a worthwhile cause to leave her fortune to. When she sees a documentary about penguins being studied in Antarctica, she tells the scientists she's coming to visit--and won't take no for an answer. Shortly after arriving, Veronica convinces the reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin who soon begins to open up her heart. Meanwhile, her grandson has followed her to Antarctica to make one last attempt to get to know his grandmother, and together, Veronica, Patrick, and even the scientists learn what family, love, and connection are all about.
