    About this ebook

    Now an animated series on Disney Junior!

    The Chicken Squad is back for their second (mis)adventure, and this time they’re solving the mystery of a kidnapped…HOUSE? A hilarious, “easy to read” (Booklist) chapter book from the bestselling author of Click, Clack, Moo and The Trouble with Chickens.

    Dirt, Sugar, Sweetie, and Poppy are the four members of The Chicken Squad, and business is booming. A weird blue bird has just flown into Chicken Squad headquarters squawking on about a house-napper (yes, house-napper), and it is once again up to the squad to uncover who is up to no good. But there is something NUTS about this story that the squad can’t quite put their feather on…and oh, brother, is it key to solving the case!

      Chapter 2

      I found the Chicken Squad flyer underneath my dog bowl this morning. I have been sharing a backyard with those four featherballs for two years. I already had all the information I needed about them, but you might not. Here’s what you need to know:

      Dirt: Short, yellow, fuzzy

      Real Name: Peep

      Specialty: Foreign languages, math, colors, computer codes

      Sugar: Short, yellow, fuzzy

      Real Name: Little Boo

      Specialty: Breaking and entering, interrupting

      Poppy: Short, yellow, fuzzy

      Real Name: Poppy

      Specialty: Watching the shoe (will explain later)

      Sweetie: Short, yellow, fuzzy

      Real Name: Sweet Coconut Louise

      Specialty: None that I can see

      They know trouble all right. They know how to cause it. Can they get you out of it? Not a chance. Will they make a heap of it if you leave them alone for more than two and a half minutes? You bet they will. And not the easy kind
