Wee Puffling LOVES living on Puffin Island, so while the other birds are preparing to leave for winter, he decides to run away and hide.
At first, the little bird is excited to have the place all to himself. He can make his own rules and do whatever he wants! But after a while, life alone on Puffin Island starts to get quite boring.
So Wee Puffling sets off on an adventure across land and sea to find his friends. Can he catch up with the other puffins? And will he discover the true meaning of home along the way?
