Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer
"A fish-out-of-water tale with loads of heart. And very unique chickens. Twelve-year-old Sophia and her family move to her uncle's farm far from the familiar surroundings of Los Angeles, and she has a lot to get used to. An excellent story for middle graders told in letters, quizzes, lists, and more." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
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.
