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 <i>entire</i> henhouse....<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Told in letters to Sophie's <i>abuela,</i> quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, <i>Unusual Chickens</i> is a quirky, clucky classic in the making.
