(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Katie Kath. Hoping to enliven her family's new farm, Sophie responds to a flier advertising the titular fowl. She receives a chicken-raising correspondence course; meanwhile, decidedly unusual chickens begin arriving. Sophie becomes devoted to her flock--but so does neighbor Ms. Greigson. Sophie's unique way of figuring life out on her own makes her easy to root for. Black-and-white illustrations match this epistolary novel's light text.
