Chicken Chicken is basically just a cautionary tale to be kind to strangers and have good manners. If you bump into strangers on the street, burp in someone's house, etc then you should all know the proper etiquette response. In this story, siblings Crystal and Cole learn the hard way what happens when they do not follow the guidelines. And they learn it by crossing the "weird goth girl with black clothes and black lipstick." This book had a good theme but it sort of rambled all over the place for the first 1/3 and it was more difficult to get into than it should have been. Not a fave in the series, but the last 20 pages or so make up for it. 2.5 rounded up to 3 on Goodreads!
