This was cute overall, but it didn’t feel like a super memorable book for me. I enjoyed the audiobook narration. The roadtrip was fun and the pitfalls along the way felt real.

I read this with my 6 year old and neither of us really enjoyed it. The poultry references didn’t age well. And the l characters weren’t very memorable.
