First in a delightful new chapter book series about puffins, friendship, helping others, and teamwork – for readers ages 5 to 8.

“I promise to be unflappable
To bravely cross the sea and sky.
To rescue eggs and also birds
It may not work, but I’ll always try”

Muffin joined in with the promise, loud and strong.This was why she had joined. This was just what Dad had told her. She felt the warm power of the words.

“What do we do?”
“We rescue birds and eggs!”
“Where?”
“Everywhere!” they all called.

Welcome to the island of Egg where a group of young puffins are training to join a search and rescue team. Meet Muffin who is following in her dad's footsteps and anxious not to let him down. Meet Tiny whose eyesight is a challenge but that doesn’t stop him for long. And meet Forti who seems so over-confident but is just desperate to impress. Along with their fellow recruits, the puffins must work together to help all the birds of the island.
