Description
Death doesn't scare me;
I'm just terrified by the prospect of not being alive.
Clark Whitaker needs a break. His kids are driving him batty, his marriage has hit a rough patch, and his job as a children's book author and illustrator is a creative nightmare. It's enough to make any self-respecting man walk headlong into traffic. Fortunately for Clark, he's about to get gobsmacked with perspective when he wakes up one morning to discover ... he's a penguin!
Told in the four voices of the Whitaker family members, this funny and touching tale by award-winning screenwriter Stu Krieger follows one suburban family through an unforgettable summer as they flock together to solve the most unusual riddle of their lives.
