Description
Author-illustrator Andy Rash has created a hilarious, perfectly paced story about overcoming fear by diving in headfirst. Gadzooks! Archie the Daredevil Penguin is hiding a dark secret- he's afraid of the water and the creatures who lurk in the briny deep! And it's keeping him from attending the fish fry on Iceberg Nine. But penguins aren't supposed to be afraid of water, especially not daredevil penguins. He mustn't let his friends know! Can Archie find a way to soar above the clouds and stay out of the sea? Author-illustrator Andy Rash has created a hilarious, perfectly paced story about overcoming fear by diving in headfirst.
