Not all stories lend themselves well to this format either.
Not all books can carry off such a specialized form of storytelling. Yes, indeed, the story is told in the form of letters! From then on, the story moves forward quite intriguingly, in installments, which the readers glean from the letters Sophie writes to her abuelita, great-uncle Jim, and Agnes of the Redwood Farm Supply Company. Meanwhile, quite naturally, Sophie stumbles upon Henrietta, a chicken of exceptional abilities. Sophie takes an interest and starts corresponding. Quite by accident, Sophie comes across a flyer from Redwood Farm Supply Company catalog listing unusual chickens. Meanwhile, Sophie is left to her devices to figure out life in the farm. Her dad is currently unemployed, while her mom juggles her writing commitments to earn enough to make both ends meet. However, being well-mannered and well-adjusted, she is co-operative and understanding of the situation and makes her best effort to adapt to her new life. Twelve year old Sophie, a city girl from L.A., is not thrilled about moving to the farm lock, stock, and barrel. Sophie Brown's dad has inherited great-uncle Jim's farm, out in Gravenstein, CA.
Seattle-based author Kelly Jones' debut book is a riot!
