Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones
3.0
3.5
I think I wanted to like this one more than I did. It's a cute story: girl moves to a farm, essentially inherits supernatural chickens and must defend them from shady town poultry lady. It's nicely diverse - she sometimes bemoans being the only brown person around (aside from the mailman) - and she writes letters to her abuela, dealing with her grief, as well as to her great-uncle (from whom she has inherited the chickens). It's a NICE story, but honestly didn't do much for me. The main character never really forges relationships with anyone - all relationships are pre-existing, or with dead people through letters. She becomes friendly with a town boy but it's very tenuous. It lacked a little heart, for me. But it ends nicely.
