Chook Chook: Saving the Farm

From a talented voice in children’s storytelling comes the final heart-warming tale in the humorous Chook Chook trilogy set against the backdrop of China.

It’s Chinese New Year and for Mei and her family things are looking grim. It’s been another bad harvest and a disappointing year for their farm. And now, the government is building a major freeway that will rip right through their village and tear their little farm apart.

One by one, Mei’s neighbours are convinced to sell their land and despite Ma’s and stepfather Jin’s best efforts to fight, it looks like their farm will be next.

What can Mei and her beloved chickens, Little and Lo, do to save their farm and keep the family together? As the deadline for bulldozing draws near, villagers young and old will come to realise that it takes a village to save a farm.
