Chicken Friend

Chicken Friend by Nicola Morgan

This book is great for 8 to 11 years old and is about a chicken, friends and a crazy family. A little 12 year old girl named Becca narrates the weeks past events as she sits in her chicken coop. As she rants about her father abruptly taking her and her brothers out of school and moving them to their now very rural community. His biggest worry is making new friends as she has to deal with her boring personality, weird family and being diabetic. This humorous tale takes us through her troubles and tribulations as she learns about herself. This book would be great in a classroom because of how many students are dealing with their "weird" families, moving or even being diabetic.
