  Greg R. Fishbone's THE PENGUINS OF DOOM is a wacky, zany trip.
  
  It's a series of letters by Septina Nash, our purple haired protagonist, as she tries to find her missing triplet sister, Sexta.
  
  At first glance, Septina just seems to have an over-reactive imagination. In her letters to the Vice Principal, math teacher, gym teacher, school counselor, and Lieutenant Donna Morse, she describes her adventures of being an extra in music videos, becoming an Olympic freestyle skateboarder, stalker penguins, and having a mortal enemy named Doctor Fignizzi.
  
  But low and behold, when her triplet brother starts backing up her story, we start to wonder if she really is telling the truth. Each reader will have to decide if Septina is a fibber of epic proportions or if she is just endowed with magical experiences. With helpful illustrations, Septina describes her extraordinary life in hilarious terms.
  
  Remember, every number in the world can be made by a combination of 7s and 3s (1=7-3-3, 2=3x3-7, etc), and since Septina is both a seventh child and triplet, that means she can do anything!
  
  Told in a cheerful and unique voice, this is a fun, quick read! ”
