Publisher Comments:
Meet Tobin McCauley. He's got a near-certifiable grandmother, a pack of juvenile-delinquent siblings, and a dad who's not going to win father of the year any time soon. To top it off, Tobin's only friend truly believes that the study of chickens will reveal...the meaning of life? Getting through seventh grade isn't easy for anyone, but when the first day of school starts out with your granny's arrest, you know you've got real problems. Throw on a five-day suspension, a chicken that lays green eggs, and a family feud that's tearing everyone to pieces, and you're in for one heck of a ride.
Review:
"What will grab readers are Tobin's wry, sad, immediate voice...and Dowell's depiction of adults."

Review:
"This is a refreshingly well-written encounter with richly developed and well-defined characters whom readers won't soon forget."
