What would you do if
you woke up one night
to find the shadow of a giant chicken passing
your bedroom door?
Go and investigate
of course!
When Anyaugo follows a giant chicken into her kitchen one warm night in Nigeria, she embarks on a fun-filled adventure where nothing is quite as it seems. Is the nature spirit that lives in the wooden walls of her house a help or a hindrance? Is the mischievous giant chicken a friend or a foe?
More importantly, will Anyaugo be able to save the food her aunties have cooked for the New Yam Festival the next day?
