Morgan, Nicola. Chicken friend. Candlewick Press, 2005 [0-7636-2735-6]
  When eleven-year-old Becca's eccentric family moves from London to the 
countryside, Becca has a hard time adjusting.  First of all, her author father 
decides to pull her and her twin brothers out of school to home school them.  Then 
of course, there is the chicken coop with collection of their newly purchased 
chickens (and rooster.)  Her mother is a crazy inventor.  So, with all this things 
added up, Becca has trouble meeting kids and making friends.  When she finally does 
meet two strange girls, she hides the fact that she has diabetes from them.  The 
new girl friends organize a wild birthday party for Becca at our house, out in the 
back shed.  Well, with little supervision from her unusual parents, the party gets 
out of hand.  At the end of the 148 page book Becca realizes that she does not need 
to change herself to make new friends.  This is a fun book about friendship and 
self-image.
