Fans of Polly Horvath or Roald Dahl will love this quirky story of a determined girl, and some extraordinary chickens.
 
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.
 
Told in letters to Sophie’s abuela, quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, Unusual Chickens is a quirky, clucky classic in the making.

I GUESSED THAT AGNES DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also,Buffy is my favorite

This book is good. It is written in a letter format, similar to a diary. It is about a girl called Sophie, and Sophie is poor. She inherited a farm from her Great-Uncle Jim. She finds a small, white chicken, and from there, things go haywire. When reading this book, you can never know what to expect! It is a third to fifth grade level, depending on your reading skills.
