Posted on November 03, 2015 by April Elkins | 0 Comments

The Continuing Adventures of Puck the Magic Penguin: The Adventure of the Pink Ruby is the enchanting sequel to Bill Moreland’s first story about the mischievous Puck. In his first adventure, The Adventures of Puck the Magic Penguin, Puck is abandoned by his first owner and makes a home for himself on the beach until being adopted by a young girl, Nef.

In The Adventure of the Pink Ruby, Puck demonstrates his power of Penguin Magic. When Nef’s dad gets into trouble, Puck seems to know before anyone else. Puck begins using his magic to help out Nef, even when she doesn’t ask. The resulting misadventures of Nef and Puck unpredictably cause more trouble than ever expected.

A Pittsburgh native, Bill Moreland graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1982. Now that geography separates the author from his children and grandchildren, he has decided to put the many bedtime stories he created for his family into print with the help of Puck.

The Continuing Adventures of Puck the Magic Penguin: The Adventure of the Pink Ruby is available in softcover (ISBN 978-1-62137-736-8) and eBook (ISBN 978-1-62137-743-6) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com.
