{"product_id":"how-the-penguins-saved-veronica","title":"How the Penguins Saved Veronica","description":"A curmudgeonly but charming old woman, her estranged grandson, and a colony of penguins proves it's never too late to be the person you want to be in this rich, heartwarming story from the acclaimed author of Ellie and the Harpmaker.\n\nEighty-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, she convinces the reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin. He becomes part of life at the base, and Veronica's closed heart starts to open.\n\nHer grandson, Patrick, comes to Antarctica to make one last attempt to get to know his grandmother. Together, Veronica, Patrick, and even the scientists learn what family, love, and connection are all about.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1984803816\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1984803816.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Prior, Hazel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43436222316605,"sku":"BVV.1984803816.VG","price":6.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1984803816-0.jpg?v=1786136802","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/how-the-penguins-saved-veronica","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
