About
the Book
May all your chickens come home to roost. If they
had only known what trouble lay ahead, maybe, just maybe the Morgan children and
their friend Deeter wouldn’t have agreed to mind No-Name, the
world’s ugliest chicken. Maybe they could have avoided camping out with
it; confronting its archenemy, the fox; grappling with its abductors. But then
again, maybe the whole madhouse caper was inevitable.
Summer vacation
has arrived. The kids can think of nothing but Starlight Park and its rides. The
Screaming Cyclone, Red Devil, Mad Hornet. The fact that their parents
won’t take them poses the greatest dilemma of their young lives. That is,
until Cornelia makes a deal with Dad. In return for their help in keeping
Mom’s one-of-a-kind birthday present hidden for a week, Dad will grant
their wish. By the end of a week’s chicken duty, young readers will agree
that the Morgans and Deeter have earned their trip to Starlight Park!
