The Ice Breakers

Marisol has been dropped in deserts, castles, war camps, and camel dung. But Antarctica is a first.

Her assignment: mediate a territorial dispute between two penguin colonies who cannot agree on the proper way to eat fish. The Stiff Necks believe in formal committees and seventeen layers of administrative protocol. The Wigglies think everything — including existential crises — can be resolved through interpretive dance.

Both colonies have been arguing for generations. Their island is literally breaking apart beneath their feet.

Enter Eddie Minor-Finch, a Brooklyn real estate developer who sees luxury resort potential where everyone else sees melting ice and furious penguins. His timeline is aggressive. His vision includes "authentic polar cultural experiences." His understanding of penguins is catastrophic.

With the island splitting, Eddie building, and both colonies refusing to cooperate, Marisol discovers that restoration magic requires something no spell can create: actual cooperation.

Also, Level Five Wiggling.

A funny, feel-good fantasy about impossible creatures, stubborn disagreements, and the moment when wiggling and committees learn to coexist. Each book in the Moon Over Marisol series is a complete adventure.
