Three seasonal adventures for Chicken and Speedy

This fifth Cranky Chicken book gathers three episodes around care and companionship: Speedy tends to Chicken when she has the flu, Chicken helps Speedy navigate a Halloween that feels too spooky, and the friends take a winter vacation after a wormy family reunion. Brief comic vignettes appear between the stories, giving the collection a mix of longer adventures and shorter moments. Its recurring situations—illness, fear, and time with friends and family—keep the focus on how the pair look after one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 who enjoy graphic chapter books about animal friends.
  • Fans of the earlier Cranky Chicken books or stories centered on friendship and seasonal adventures.

Book overview

Cranky Chicken and Speedy the worm are back in another sweetly silly graphic chapter book as the two friends banish a case of the flu, face an extra-spooky Halloween, and enjoy a wintry cabin getaway--sure to be beloved by fans of Narwhal and Jelly andThe Bad Guys!

Cranky Chicken isn't feeling so hot; she's got the Chicken Flu, which makes her feverish, fuzzy, and extra cranky. Armed with an out-of-tune ukulele song, some questionable soup, and a very tight worm-knit blanket, can Speedy cheer Chicken up? Then Speedy faces fears and frights when Halloween gets a little too spooky for comfort. Can Chicken help Speedy find some calm? Later, a surprise family reunion of the wormy variety sees the friends taking a festive winter vacation.

These three delightful stories about friendship and caring for one another--interspersed with laugh-out-loud vignettes--will make readers fall even more deeply in love with their favorite BFFs (that is, best feathered friends)!
