5th Anniversary Edition expanded to include 20 Fun Facts about
Chickens!
Winner of a prestigious Northern Lights Book Award, Gwen the Rescue
Hen is the heart-warming story about a sharp-witted chicken that
inspires compassion for animals.
Gwen has spent her whole life in a big egg-laying hen house, so she
knows very little about what chickens can do (besides lay eggs, of
course). A fateful tornado turns her world upside-down and sideways,
landing her in a strange new place that's nothing like the hen house.
Using her wits and chicken superpowers, Gwen dodges danger at every turn
until she finds safety and friendship with a boy named Mateo. Together
they discover how extraordinary an ordinary chicken really is.
The 5th anniversary edition includes a bigger bonus section called "More
About Chickens," where curious readers can learn that chickens have
extraordinary eyesight, a complex language of 24 sounds, and dance,
among other fun facts.
