Review

In this third book in the series, Agatha and her friends are so excited to be watching thirteen newly hatched chickens. Four of the girls agree to take chickens home for a weekend. When they have a chicken soccer game, they discover they are missing a chick. Mayhem ensues as they try to figure out what happened to the thirteenth chick. This is a high energy story with lots of action. Black and white drawings help readers envision what is happening and make the book more approachable. Full of unusual characters and events, this may appeal to readers of Clementine and Ivy and Bean.

Overall Book Score: good
