Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer

Unusual Chickens for Katherine Applegate and Erin Entrada Kelly fans will love this quirky story of a determined girl, and some extraordinary chickens.

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.
