Bear's chicken from outer space, Nugget, has unlocked a new power: toy mode. Whenever someone spots her, she freezes and looks just like a miniature stuffed animal. It's the perfect disguise, until it starts happening in class, at lunch and in Bear's backpack. Bear and his sister Sprinkles must keep Nugget's identity a secret, dodge suspicious classmates and figure out what her glowing bracelet means.

From the publisher

The purple space chicken has a new trick... and it's weirdly adorable. Just when Bear thought things couldn't get any stranger, his chicken from outer space--Nugget--unlocks a new power: Toy mode. Now, whenever someone spots her, Nugget instantly freezes and turns into what looks like a miniature stuffed animal. It's the perfect disguise--but also totally chaotic. Especially when she randomly activates in class, during lunch, or while riding in Bear's backpack. Bear and his sister Sprinkles are doing their best to keep Nugget's identity a secret, dodge suspicious classmates, and figure out what her glowing bracelet actually means. Because Nugget isn't just hiding--she's on a mission. And if they can't keep up, they might miss something important. Packed with mystery, ridiculous situations, and a space chicken with serious style, Purple Space Chicken: Toy Mode is book two in a hilarious, action-packed series for kids who love secret missions and wild adventures. Recommended for: Kids in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Readers who enjoy illustrated chapter books and illustrated middle grade books Ages 7-12
