When a penguin family takes a wrong turn and ends up at the North Pole instead of the South, a friendly polar bear offers to guide them to their destination. These will be done under the guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. As our identities increasingly align under political labels of convenience, now this is the perfect time for a reflective book that shines light on the world around us and how we can correct course from excessive political polarisation. Fallis is a Stephen Leacock award winner and I have on more than one occasion laughed out loud when reading his other novels.

After a brief stay, Mr White says goodbye and walks ‘12,430 miles all the way back to…the North Pole, where he [belongs]. He could've written some funny jokes, but instead he wrote some sitcom-worthy bits and makes sure that at least one character comments on the fact that they're making a joke (literally every bit of 'humour' in this book goes commented on; it's like he's paranoid people will think he's not trying hard enough or something).

Alison (Ali) Goldsworthy, the first of the book’s trio of authors, hit on the idea while a Sloan Fellow at Stanford University. Everything about this book enthralled me: its very clever title and over-arching (and very contemporary) concept, its absurd juxtapositions, its engaging characters and pace, its sense of danger and risk, its lessons for serious causes using unconventional approaches (and voices) to connect with wider audiences and convert the unconverted.
