A review by ahpotts
Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones

5.0

I really only picked this up because I couldn't face another tough read & my 10yo thought I would enjoy this. He was not wrong. I snorted and giggled and generally fell in love with Sophie and her chickens. I liked the epistolary style and the gentle way that Jones allows Sophie to get used to her new home in the country. The mini-Agnes mystery is fun & the way Sophie's Latinx background is simply part of her life is effective - noticeable but not defining. And, oh, Henrietta. I think I like the whole book better simply because Henrietta exists. Going to pass this one on to plenty of middle schoolers.
