Tobin Mccauleys got a near-certifiable grandmother, a pack of juvenile-delinquent siblings, and a dad whos not going to win father of the year any time soon.

Getting through seventh grade isnt easy for anyone, son, but when the first day of school starts out with your grannys arrest, you know youve got real problems. Throw on five-day suspension (for defending your English teachers honor), a chicken that lays green eggs, and a family feud thats tearing everyone to pieces, and youre in for one heck of a ride. With her remarkable ability to create characters you wish could be part of your life forever, Frances ORoark Dowell introduces Tobin McCauley, Chicken Boy.
