Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer

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.
