Coral the Penguin: and the Tidekeeper's Marks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798315295112)

Meet Coral-a clever, curious penguin with questions that never stop and feathers that don't quite fit in.
In a bustling colony on the rocky shores of Pebble Haven, Coral the Humboldt penguin stands out-and not just because of her shimmering, star-speckled belly or her twitchy yellow crest feathers that bounce when she's deep in thought. Coral sees the world a little differently. She notices patterns others miss, asks questions adults can't always answer and keeps her most precious treasures (and a cheeky isopod sidekick named Barney) tucked safely in her woven kelp satchel.

But when Coral's favourite thinking pebble goes missing, she sets out on a quest to find it-uncovering far more than she expected. From misunderstood puffins to mysterious sea caves, Coral's search soon becomes a journey of self-discovery, courage, and connection. As she follows a trail of puzzling clues, Coral begins to realize that what makes her different might just be her greatest strength.

★ A heartwarming, humorous adventure for ages 6-12 that gently explores neurodivergence, friendship, and emotional resilience.
Perfect for fans of El Deafo, The World According to Humphrey, or The Tale of Despereaux, this story introduces a one-of-a-kind heroine who thinks outside the iceberg. Coral the Penguin and the Tidekeeper's Marks blends rich world-building, quirky humour, and subtle sensory-based storytelling designed with neurodivergent readers in mind.
