Animal Rescue & Expat Life (Small Hardback) | Mystery Blind Date with a Book

When a free-spirited, twenty-something Englishman takes a job teaching at a prestigious boarding school in Argentina, he expects an adventure full of travel and culture. What he doesn't expect is finding a solitary, oil-slicked seabird washed ashore on a Uruguayan beach. Unable to leave the helpless creature behind, he cleans him up, smuggles him across the border in a duffel bag, and sneaks him into his school apartment. What begins as a temporary rescue turns into an extraordinary friendship as the charming, tuxedo-clad bird settles in, winning over grumpy housekeepers, tough rugby players, timid students, and entire classrooms. A hilarious, touching true story about how the unlikeliest teacher can transform an entire community just by listening.
