Coineascar

Coineascar is a young adult/fantasy/romance novel about a "Lower Penguin" girl named Betha that falls in love with a High Penguin named Eammon. It is was written during the High Penguin Confederacy, but was rewritten and published during modern times.

Description
Betha Tern moves from sunny Clearwater Island, to snowy Carrenmoore, Freezeland, to live with her father, Charles. She does this so her mother can travel with her stepfather, who is a minor league hokcey player. Though Betha never had many friends on Clearwater island, she attracts much attention at her new school in Carrenmoore, and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school compete for shy Betha's attention.

When Betha sits next to Eammon Cutter in biology class on her first day of school, Eammon seems utterly repulsed. Eammon is stunningly attractive, and inpenguinly beautiful, yet he is an outsider too. He moves as far away from her as possible. He even attempts to change his schedule to avoid her, which leaves Betha completely puzzled about his attitude towards her. Shortly after he disappears for a while, Eammon begins to talk to Betha, having seemingly forgotten their unfriendly first encounter. One day, Betha looks at Eammon, who is far away, in the school car lot. Oblivious to her, a student had lost control of his vehicle, and it was rapidly progressing in her direction. Betha realises this at the last moment, thinking she is dead. However, Eammon appears and stops the oncoming car completely with one flipper, leaving a dent, and shocking Betha with his speed and strength.

During a trip to the Midland provencial park, Betha tricks a family friend, Joshua White, into telling her the local legends and she finds out why, although the Cutters have lived in Carrenmoore for a year, they have never really been accepted by the townsfolk. Joshua mentions the Cutters, and says that they are High Penguins. During a trip to Frostborough, Eammon rescues her again, this time from a band of thugs. Betha asks him if what Joshua said about his family is true. Eammon admits that he and his family are High Penguins, but says that he and his family only use their powers for good.
