The book is about a chicken that started as a science project and then changed into a people’s friend. For some people it was their mascot their school and for one person, DINNER!!!!
It all started when the science teacher, Ms. Baggio and said “there will be a science fair in a couple of weeks”. All the children started to think about topics. Milo, a seventh grader decided to do his report on the food chain. Milo went and adopted a chicken for his project. Milo has no friends because he just moved from California and was a science geek. He hoped by winning the science fair, he would find a friend that also like science. When Milo brought his chicken to school, everyone loved it. They all named it Henrietta. Milo thought that to name a project was stupid. By the end of the day, everyone got attached to Henrietta. However Milo thought that everyone knew what happens at the end of his project. When Henrietta would be fully grown, was going to serve her to the judges at the science fair. He warned everyone not to be connected to it, but everyone didn’t care what he had to say. Adam Lurie, was in grade 8 but grade 7 for science because he failed. He was also the captain for the Rangers hockey team. The team has a difficult start at the start of their season; 0-5 they were the worst in the league. A couple of days after Milo brought his chicken to School, Adam had to take care of her for the rest of the day. Walking home after school he remembered that he had a hockey game and didn’t have time to go home leave Henrietta. So they decided to make her the Mascot. After that day they started to win games w/ Henrietta. Ms. Baggio made a list to help Milo with his project. Her idea was to let people sign up and take turn to look after Henrietta on the weekends. Milo didn’t like this idea because he wants to study her for his project, not let people play with her. Then something horrible happened; Henrietta got a COLD!!!! IT WAS
