Now a major film, this is the true story of an unlikely friendship between a flightless bird and a teacher out of his depth. . . When schoolteacher Tom Michell pulls a penguin from an oil slick off the coast of Uruguay he has no idea what to do. Back at his apartment, Tom cleans him, but upon returning to the beach the penguin refuses to return to the ocean. Tom has one option- to smuggle the penguin over the Argentinian border to the prestigious boarding school Tom calls home. There follows a heart-warming story of one remarkable penguin, who adapts to boarding school life. Whether it's as team mascot or swimming coach extraordinaire - Juan Salvador the penguin transforms the lives of all he meets.

  • Great read, looked forward to reading the next pages.

    Loved this book. Compelling reading, and of course, it is based on a true story. Very interesting, probably a unique experience experienced by Tom. Written in interesting detail.
