Chicken Squad

Book Summary
When a terrified squirrel bursts into the Chicken Squad’s coop with tales of a looming danger “big and enormous,” it’s up to Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie to crack the case. Armed with a helium tank, grass clippings, and plenty of attitude, these pint-sized poultry detectives follow the clues with over-the-top flair – and maybe just a little chaos. A lighthearted mystery unfolds with plenty of giggles and chicken-brained logic along the way.
