Alice and her family are camping in Yorkshire when she discovers a puffling huddled by a rock. It cannot fly yet and seems scared and alone, but local volunteers have warned that it's dangerous for puffins to interact with humans. Is there any way that Alice can help it return to the sea?

Alice and her family are camping in Yorkshire, where her new stepdad is hoping to photograph puffins. Alice struggles to understand her stepdad's fascination with the seabirds, and finds it even harder dealing with her younger stepsister, Hattie, who takes all the attention.

When Alice tries to avoid Hattie by hanging back during a bike ride, she discovers a baby puffin huddled by a rock. It seems scared and all alone, but local volunteers have warned that it's dangerous for puffins to interact with humans. Is there any way that Alice can help the puffling return to the sea?

A heartwarming story about family and nature from best-selling author Holly Webb.
