The Great Boat Escape: A Magical Adventure on Dublin's River Liffey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068310041)

What if the greatest adventures came from getting things wrong?

When two curious brothers meet a magical penguin dreaming of the open sea, an ordinary day in Dublin turns into an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, mishaps, and courage.

Join Michael, Ryan, and their new friend Cara the penguin as they set off along the River Liffey and out into Dublin Bay in search of freedom.

From wobbly rowboats and spinning sailboats to unexpected friendships and splash-filled surprises, their journey is anything but smooth sailing...

But with every mistake, they learn.

And with every laugh, they grow braver.
