The chicken doesn't skate
Gordon Korman
1996
When a science project requires a live subject, a group of middle schoolers unexpectedly finds themselves caring for Henrietta, a Rhode Island Red hen with an unusual affinity for the ice rink. Their attempts to integrate Henrietta into the school's hockey team lead to comical chaos, much to the dismay of their coach and the amusement of their classmates. This humorous tale explores the challenges of unexpected responsibility and the absurdity that can arise when a farm animal enters the world of competitive sports.
