(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Katie Kath. Sophie (Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer) obtains two new chickens plus a clutch of (unusual) eggs. Meanwhile, biracial Sophie has a somewhat uneasy start in middle school, but at least her beloved cousin comes to stay with the family while attending college. This sequel's epistolary format blends the outlandish premise with Sophie's realistic concerns about her family, peers, and flock. Humorous, loose line drawings are a good match for the plucky heroine's story.
