A story about childhood friendships, anticipation, and the magic
moments that arise while you're waiting for something else to happen.
Every year a young boy stays in the same cabin at the beach with his
family. And every year his friend Chicken Smith stays in the next cabin
over. But this year, something's different: Chicken Smith hasn't shown
up yet. The boy's little sister, MaryAnn, keeps trying to get his
attention, but he's too busy remembering all of his adventures with
Chicken Smith -- and thinking about everything they're going to do this
summer. Is Chicken ever going to show up? And just what has MaryAnn been
yelling about? David Mackintosh's ode to small summer wonders will make
readers of all ages open their eyes to the quick,
blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments happening all around them.
