\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When her Rosie the Riveter<\/a> tribute photo is altered and mocked online, 1940s culture fan Poppy withdraws from her friends and family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian teen’s twin brother is happily out, her roller derby team will just have to do without her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least she’s hidden from the world as she wears a chicken suit to advertise for a local restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced to a group of homeless-by-choice friends by a lively little girl, Poppy looks forward to evenings with them under the bridge – Thumper with his Bible, Lewis saving money for transition surgery<\/a>, Buck photographing absolutely everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poppy’s now becomes bearable, but what of the future?
\nWill social services take little Miracle from her struggling mom?
\nIs her twin Cam really happy at his new summer job? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken Girl<\/em> is puns and poses, exploration and misunderstanding, community and much more. Read an excerpt here<\/a> for free, courtesy of the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who’s in your friend-family?
