Saving Puff: A Puffin Rescue Story
Not yet published
Expected 20 Apr 27An inspiring children's story based on an actual Atlantic puffin rescue effort.
Late one night, Emma rescues a stranded baby puffin on an island in Iceland. “Puff,” as Emma names her rescue, is too young and small to survive in the ocean, so she takes him home to care for him. As Puff grows, Emma becomes attached to the fledgling. When he finally weighs enough to be released to the sea, she wonders if he’s truly ready - or is she the one who isn’t ready?
Saving Puff is a fictional story inspired by the real-life puffin rescue tradition of families on the island of Heimaey, Iceland, where Jennifer visited to research this book. Extensive back matter describes the “Puffling Patrol” rescue team, the endangered plight of the Atlantic puffins, how to help them survive, and more.

About the author
Jennifer O'Connell
22 books35 followersPublished teen fiction under the name Jenny O'Connell.
Although she's written about a reality dating show, a prescient pastry chef, and a woman who inspired an 80's rock hit, Jennifer has not spent hours dissecting The Bachelor, she can barely follow the directions on the back of a Betty Crocker box, and she can only dream of a long-haired, guitar-thrashing rocker even giving her a second glance.
While she cringes at the thought of being called Jenny again after all these years, her first teen book PLAN B, was published under Jenny O'Connell by MTV Books (March 2006). Jenny's second teen book, THE BOOK OF LUKE, arrived in April 2007, and her Martha’s Vineyard Novels, LOCAL GIRLS and RICH BOYS, were published in June 2008.
Her days as a high school senior may be long behind her, but Jennifer did receive her B.A. from Smith College and her M.B.A. from the University of Chicago.
