Unusual chickens for the exceptional poultry farmer Cover Image Book

Unusual chickens for the exceptional poultry farmer / by Kelly Jones ; illustrated by Katie Kath.

Jones, Kelly (Kelly Anne), 1976- (author.). Kath, Katie, (illustrator.).

Summary:

Twelve-year-old Sophie Brown feels like a fish out of water when she and her parents move from Los Angeles to the farm they've inherited from a great-uncle. But farm life gets more interesting when a cranky chicken appears and Sophie discovers the hen can move objects with the power of her little chicken brain: jam jars, the latch to her henhouse, the entire henhouse ... And then more of her great-uncle's unusual chickens come home to roost. Determined, resourceful Sophie learns to care for her flock, earning money for chicken feed, collecting eggs. But when a respected local farmer tries to steal them, Sophie must find a way to keep them (and their superpowers) safe.
