'On a tiny island lives a waddle of Little Penguins. But their numbers are dwindling. Swampy Marsh knows what to do, but no one will listen. Soon he can count the last few penguins on the fingers of one hand. The desperate townsfolk give Swampy, and his friends Max and Oddball, one chance.
'Will his ‘Oddball’ solution work? Will Swampy save the Little Penguins of Middle Island?
'A warmly funny account of one man’s quest to save a penguin colony, with two very unusual helpers.' (Publication summary)
