Nick's parents have sold their house in the suburbs and moved into the heart of Hoboken so he can experience urban culture. Luckily, Nick makes friends with two kids who live in the apartment next door. They spend the summer looking for the Phantom, who sometimes leaves odd gifts for people, and trying to find out more about a giant chicken who rampaged through the city years ago. Super fun sequel to The Hoboken Chicken Emergency.

LeslieO I used to read Summer Reading is Killing Me by Jon Scieszka to my 4th graders, which starts with the Hoboken Chicken, so I would recommend the original to them, but I never knew it was a series! 1mo

Because why WOULDN‘T I want to read a book that features a 266-pound chicken?
Pinkwater‘s Lizard Music was a favorite of mine when I was a kid - and is the book that probably led me to my love of SciFi and the surreal - so I was pleased to find this at the Book Sorting today. 🐓
