Pros: Sophie is a likeable character, and the chickens with supernatural powers add an interesting element to the story. Told entirely in letters to Great Uncle Jim, Agnes, and her deceased grandmother, the story follows Sophie as she figures out both the chickens and the humans in her new community. Sophie embarks on a correspondence with a mysterious woman named Agnes who supposedly runs Redwood Farm Supply, and who offers Sophie encouragement and chicken advice. She discovers a mysterious and unusual chicken named Henrietta living on the property, and soon a few more supernatural chickens show up, along with a potential chicken thief. Her dad is recently unemployed and her mom is a freelance writer trying to pay the bills, so Sophie is left to her own devices to explore the farm. Summary: 12-year-old Sophie’s family has recently moved to the farm her father inherited from his Uncle Jim. Published by Knopf Books for Young Readers
