From Puffin's Website - Under the heading of submissions...

Manuscript Submissions

Due to the high volume of manuscripts we receive, Penguin Group (USA) Inc. imprints do not normally accept unsolicited manuscripts. On rare occasion, however, a particular imprint may be open to reading such. The Penguin Group (USA) web site features a listing of which imprints (if any) are currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts.

Neither the corporation nor its imprints assume responsibility for any unsolicited manuscripts which we may receive. As such, it is recommended that sole original copies of any manuscripts not be submitted, as the corporation is not responsible for the return of any manuscripts (whether sent electronically or by mail), nor do we guarantee a response. Further, in receiving a submission, we do not assume any duty not to publish a book based on a similar idea, concept or story.

The preferred and standard method for having manuscripts considered for publication by a major publisher is through an established literary agent.

Agents can be found in such literary guides as Literary Marketplace.

There are also online resources for writers interested in learning more about the process of submitting manuscripts to agents and publishers. A good place to start is the Author's Guild.

1. Develop a firm grasp of the English Language and the craft of writing
2. Write a book
3. Find an agent
4. Have agent submit to Puffin or other publishers.

The problem with most people who post questions like yours is that they want to skip straight to step 4 without putting in the years of work and committed required for step 1.

Worry about step one. Everything else depends on that.
