    About this audiobook

    Sixth-grader Milo Neal plans to do a science project on "The Complete Life Cycle of a Link in the Food Chain." But when he brings his specimen-a baby chick-to class, everyone falls in love with the cute ball of fluff. Soon she has a name: Henrietta. Not only is Henrietta the class pet, she's even chosen as mascot for the school hockey team! How can Milo finish his project, which calls for frying up his specimen and serving it to the judges of the science fair? Each day, as Henrietta gets bigger, so does Milo's dilemma. And students are hatching plans to rescue their feathered friend. Gordon Korman, author of more than 20 books for middle school and young adult audiences, based this hilarious story on his own experiences while visiting a middle school classroom. Through the talented narrators' performances, Henrietta's adventures will have you cackling with laughter.

      This is quite possibly the funniest GK book ever, and I highly recommed it for all ages; Whether as a audio, physical, or E-book.

      The whole class falls in love with Milo Neil (the son of the Nobel Prise winning Astronimer)'s Science project, the complete life cycle of a link in te food chain, which happens to be a chicken. Soon, it has a name: Henrietta, and everyone is lining up to feed her and clean her cage. The hockey team even adopts her as their mascot! But when Henrietta's true fate comes to light, what lenghts will the class, and the entire town,take to save the beloved chicken?

      You'll love these funny, yet relateable charaters as the story follows the misadventures of the chicken mamed henrietta and her whacky classmates

      Hockey meets Comedy in this halarious work of art.

      When Milo hatches a chicken for his science fair project on the food chain, the entire school falls in love with the chicken. But how will everyone react when they find out that Milo plans on butchering the specimen and serving fried chicken at the science fair?
