Danny is super excited he is going to the Caribbean with his family. Danny bicycles on all different types of roads such as dirt, cement, gravel, and asphalt. He comes across a chicken in the road. He screeches to a halt and tells the chicken he almost killed her. The next thing he knows the chicken is on his bike handles trying to tell him that she needs his help. Will Danny go with the chicken on a mysterious mission/adventure?
This is a pretty good adventure story. My son (who is nine) and I read this story together. He was not a very big fan of the illustrations and to be honest I am not a fan of them myself. He said it took away from the story.
Please note I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley. I was not obliged to write a favorable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed here are strictly my son's and my own.

I definitely see the appeal for children and would offer this up to readers that I think would enjoy it. This was not one of my favorite books and I had to remind myself I am not the intended audience.

This book was an ok read but I wasn't a fan at all of the illustrations and I did think that they let the book down. The story is easy to read and follow but it is a work of pure imagination! 3 stars

Danny runs home from school. He's excited as there is a week vacation from school. No more hearing "Danny pay attention"etc. he is going to the Caribbean with his folks! His parent arrange for him to have a bike to use there. He goes riding on all differnt types of roads such as dirt, cement, gravel, and asphalt. Suddenly a chicken is in front of him on the road. Screeching to a halt, he tells the chicken he almost killed her. The next thing that happens is the chicken is on his bike handles trying to tell him she needs help. Will Danny go with the chicken on a mysterious mission? Will he know what to do?
This is a great adventure story. It flows smoothly. I think that the thought behind this story is to help others and not judge anyone based on looks. It is fun to read!
