| Ah,
the dreaded school science project. Mrs. Bag's 6th grade class must come
up with ideas by the end of the week. When Milo Neal said he was going
to do a project on "The Complete Life Cycle of a Link in the Food Chain",
Mrs. Bag was delighted. After all, Milo was the son of a famous scientist
so this project has the potential to be really special. When Milo brings
his project to school, the class goes wild. Milo intends to raise a chicken
to adulthood right in the classroom. Everyone in the class falls in love
with "Henrietta" the chicken and fight for the opportunity to care for
her. The story is told from the point of view of several of the children.
