Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones
5.0
I loved this book. It was fun and adorable. Sophie is believable as a main character and the letters are entertaining.
Since this middle grade novel iswritten in letters I wasn't sure I would be a fan, normally I don't care for this style. Fortunately I was wrong. The letters are from Sophie and to various family members who have died. Mostly to her grandmother and to her Great Uncle Jim so far. Sophie and her parents just moved to GUJ's farm, from LA, which he left them when he died. There she found a white chicken that apparently uses the force. Hence the unusual part. She begins a correspondence with Agnes, a poultry expert who gives her advice about her unusual chickens and discovers she has several more chickens to find. Burr someone else is looking for her chickens too.
