At Blueglass Colony, life is loud, crowded, and wonderfully predictable-penguins argue over pebbles, chicks scream for food, and the sea seems to hold more fish and krill than anyone could ever need. Then everything begins to change. The feeding grounds grow emptier. Parents travel farther. Strange ships appear offshore. Rain floods nests that have stood for generations. And when Oscar's little brother goes to sleep hungry, the problem becomes impossible to ignore.
Determined to find food for his family, Oscar leaves Blueglass and ventures farther than he has ever gone before. Beyond the familiar ice waits a dangerous world of shifting seas, unfamiliar penguins, hungry predators, and discoveries that challenge everything he believed about home, survival, and an ocean he once thought could never run out. Oscar is a heartfelt middle-grade adventure about courage, family, friendship, and discovering that protecting tomorrow sometimes begins with understanding what is changing today.
