Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The chicks [have] their individual personalities. Each one pursues his or her own agenda, though they are often united in a common cause. Like four small, fuzzy, yellow Don Quixotes, they see giants in windmills or, in this case, aliens in [their] backyard.” —New York Times Book Review
“In this delightful spinoff of the J. J. Tully series, this time the chickens are in charge—sort of…Cronin keeps the mystery moving right along, allowing it to build at just the right pace for new readers to guess along with the…chickens…The more challenging words are repeated many times as the chickens recount the story for each other and Tail, making this a great first chapter book.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Trouble arrives in the guise of Tail, a terrified squirrel who storms the chicken coop insisting that ‘something big and scary’ is after him. Led by Sugar, who records clues in her notebook, and Dirt, who uses her sketchpad to decipher the shape of the interloper, the chick siblings (camouflaged as clods of grass) and Tail set out to confront what they assume is a UFO…Full-tilt slapstick springs from the chicks’ banter and Tail’s melodramatic ranting.” —Publishers Weekly
“The audiobook is made even more entertaining by the expert voicing, pacing, and inflection of narrators Adam Grupper and Michele O. Medlin. Moving swiftly from solemn to silly, the two depict the serious dog J. J. Tully and the exuberantly youthful chicks to perfection… It’s all great fun for listeners who are ready for short chapter books.” —AudioFile
“Those cheeky chicks are back—this time in a series all their own…Kids who enjoyed the first two books in the J. J. Tully Mysteries series will be delighted that the four intrepid chicks take center stage in this laugh-out-loud new chapter book series.” —School Library Journal
“An amusing beginning chapter book.” —Booklist
