Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer

Description

Fans of Katherine Applegate and Erin Entrada Kelly will love this quirky story
of a determined girl, and some extraordinary chickens. Twelve-year-old Sophie
Brown feels like a fish out of water when she and her parents move from Los
Angeles to the farm they’ve inherited from a great-uncle. But farm life gets
more interesting when a cranky chicken appears and Sophie discovers the hen
can move objects with the power of her little chicken brain: jam jars, the
latch to her henhouse, the entire henhouse…. And then more of her great-
uncle’s unusual chickens come home to roost. Determined, resourceful Sophie
learns to care for her flock, earning money for chicken feed, collecting eggs.
But when a respected local farmer tries to steal them, Sophie must find a way
to keep them (and their superpowers) safe. Told in letters to Sophie’s abuela,
quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, Unusual
Chickens is a quirky, clucky classic in the making. Read more
