Summary

Gemma doesn't believe a chicken could have written a book - chickens can't even read! But here in front of them is "The True Story of Harrowing Farm", and its scratchy pages definitely look, well, chickeny. It is the story of a chicken who flies frillions of miles, reaching the heights of intergalactic superstardom, to try to save us humans.
