About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit into a specific box or is struggling with being 'different' from their peers. It is a perfect choice for the kid who feels like a social misfit and needs to see that their unique traits are actually their greatest strengths. The story follows Chickenhare, a rare hybrid creature, as he escapes the clutches of a mad taxidermist and builds a chosen family with other outcasts. This graphic novel uses absurdist humor and high-stakes adventure to explore deep themes of identity and belonging. While it features some quirky and slightly creepy monsters, the core of the book is a warm celebration of loyalty and self-acceptance. It is highly appropriate for middle-grade readers who enjoy fast-paced visual storytelling and stories about finding where you truly belong.
