About the Book
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.
