Description
Chicken Girl is a poignant coming-of-age story about a young girl's journey to find hope and positivity in a world that can sometimes be cruel. After a painful experience online, Poppy struggles to see the good in people and finds solace in a feathered chicken costume.
However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a six-year-old girl named Miracle, who helps Poppy see beyond her own pain and opens her eyes to the world around her. As the summer unfolds, Poppy begins to focus on the present and forms connections with those around her, including her twin brother, Buck, and Lewis, who is navigating his transition.
As Poppy comes to terms with the complexities of human nature, she faces a deep betrayal that tests her newfound understanding. This powerful story explores themes of self-acceptance, social justice, and the importance of human connection in overcoming adversity.
