Bookroo's summary
Starla Jean is determined to catch a scrappy chicken she finds at the park. Her dad's challenge, "If you can catch it, you can keep it," sets her on a mission. Will her cleverness and determination be enough to win her new feathered friend?
From the publisher
Printz Honor winner and National Book Award Finalist Elana K. Arnold makes her chapter book debut with this charming story of a girl and her chicken, irresistibly illustrated by A. N. Kang. Introducing Starla Jean! She’s full of moxie, clever as a fox, and obsessed with catching a chicken she finds at the park. When Starla first sees the scrawny bird wandering around, she just knows they’re destined for one another. Her dad says, If you can catch it, you can keep it, and Starla Jean is not one to back down from a challenge.
