The Adélie penguin migrates to the southern beaches of Antarctica during the summer months of November and December for mating season. The males go on a long search to find that one perfect pebble to impress their female mates. If he succeeds, the two penguins will build a family together, making a nest out of stones, and raising their newly hatched chicks.

Lianna is homeschooled, living in practically the middle of nowhere in the state of Utah, and the only friends she has are either online or penguins. Yes, penguins. Her mother is a marine biologist, and together each year they take a three month trip to study in Antarctica. Lianna takes after her mom, keeping a notebook of all the species she observes down at the bottom of the planet. 

But this year, her mother's new partner travels down south to help with a big new project... And he brings his son, Dean. Lianna's life spins into a complete disaster and into situations concerning the meaning of life and death itself.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
