Neuware - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - The extraordinary and inspiring true story about the surprising bond between a young teacher and the small penguin he rescued 'The Penguin Lessons teaches an important truth: that a single act of compassion can be repaid a thousand-fold.'--Sy Montgomery, author of the National Book Award finalist The Soul of an Octopus In 1975, twenty-three-year-old Englishman Tom Michell follows his wanderlust to Argentina, where he becomes assistant master at a prestigious boarding school. But Michell's adventures really begin when, on a weekend in Uruguay, he rescues a penguin covered in oil from an ocean spill, cleans the bird up, and attempts to return him to the sea. The penguin refuses to leave his rescuer's side. 'That was the moment at which he became my penguin, and whatever the future held, we'd face it together,' says Michell in this charming memoir.

After Michell smuggles the bird back to Argentina and into his campus apartment, word spreads about the young Englishman's unusual roommate. Juan Salvador is suddenly the center of attention--as mascot of the rugby team, confidant to the dorm housekeeper, co-host of Michell's parties, and an unprecedented swimming coach to a shy boy.
