Paperback, Novel

A Strange and Wonderful Adventure Penguin Highway has a very distinctive combination of childhood adventure, mystery, science fiction, and everyday life. The appearance of penguins in an ordinary suburban town creates an unusual mystery, while the young narrator gives the story a curious and imaginative perspective. The story gradually expands from a small local mystery into something much larger and more mysterious. It is a good example of a Japanese novel that can feel imaginative and cinematic while still having plenty of ordinary details and humor.
