Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones
4.0
(4 1/2 stars)
I loved this book! Sophie and her parents have just moved from Los Angeles to her Great-Uncle Jim's farm in the country. Her father lost his job, and the inheritance of the farm is a life-saver for them. It is a big change for Sophie though, to leave her cousins and friends in the city. She is alone on the farm a great deal, while her father looks for a job and her mother works as a journalist. She finds one of Great Uncle Jim's chickens that had scattered after his death, and throws herself into learning about how to care for chickens. As she slowly gathers the flock back together, she also gains confidence and makes friends in her new community. Told entirely in letters, this story will immediately draw readers in, and may make them want to raise some unusual chickens of their own. Highly recommended for grades 3-6.
