The Morgan children had no idea how difficult it would be to take care of a chicken. But they'd made a deal with their dad to care for a chicken secretly for the week before their mother's birthday. If they were successful, the bird would be a surprise gift and the kids would get a trip to an amusement park! A not-too nefarious gang kidnaps the chicken, threatening the deal. The action moves as quickly as the summer week during which the likable characters save the chicken and the birthday surprise and get their trip to Starlight Park. 2001, Marshall Cavendish, $14.95. Ages 10 to 12.
