This book is a retelling of a traditional folktale in which Shaina decides to keep Izzy Pippik's magnificent hen safe along with its eggs and hatched chicks until Izzy returns to claim the hen. When dozens of eggs hatch and rowdy chickens scatter throughout the village, Shaina must fight the entire town if she has any hope of protecting the birds. Inspired by Jewish and Islamic folklore, this tale is about doing the right thing.
