<b>Fans of Katherine Applegate and Erin Entrada Kelly will love this quirky story of a determined girl, and some extraordinary chickens.</b> <p/> 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 <i>entire</i> henhouse.... <p/> 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. <p/> Told in letters to Sophie's <i>abuela, </i> quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, <i>Unusual Chickens</i> is a quirky, clucky classic in the making.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Kelly Jones<br><b>Publisher:</b> Yearling Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/08/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 240<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780385755559<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>174131 / Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional P
