Kindle Edition Amazon Cluck The Undercover Chicken Category:  Children Publisher: Createspace/Amazon ISBN-10:  149742500X Pages: 102 Copyright: March 30, 2014 ISBN-13: 9781497425002 Price: $2.99 (eBook) A story about a chicken...err, rooster...and his ego. "Cluck The Undercover Chicken" is a love story.  Wait, that isn't it.  It's an action adventure filled with thrills, intrigue and danger.  Well, it does have that.  It has a hero that kids can look up to.  That definitely isn't true, despite what that "hero" thinks.  Sigh...here's the truth.  It's a story about a rooster who can't stand being called a rooster, who also spends his time arguing with the writer of the book, while trying to save his planet (made of a mutated egg shell) from a crazed hen who wants equal rights...as long as she is absolute ruler.  And you think you have problems.  "Cluck" is a book that middle aged-kids (and perhaps some adults) will enjoy. An agent with "The Eggency", Cluck is the best at what he does. Sadly, his ego is as massive as his skills.  Besides being blinded by his arrogance, Cluck is helped along by "ST", the writer of his adventures and a voice only he can hear. While this causes some to question his sanity, together they make an uneasy, but successful partnership.  When a hen named "The Fan" (named because she has a deadly hand fan with her at all times) forms a worldwide cult in order to take over the planet, it's up to Cluck to toss a feather in her plans...if his ego doesn't trip him up first.  Written for the young with laughs built in for all, "Cluck" is a book meant to be an unique reading experience; a quick read that you will remember for a long time. Excerpt As I was saying, The Eggency enforced the law on EggEarth. They had several offices all over the planet, with the main one located in Crow City. Rooster McCoy, the Eggency’s Chief, ran a tight ship. Rules were a big thing for him, and he didn’t let anyone get away with much of anything. Well, except for one particular bird that he had a soft spot for… “It’s about beak’s time! Now the fun begins!” “Goodness, your impatience is off the charts today! As jumpy as you are, you act like someone is going to barbecue you.” “Really? Barbecue me? Tell me you didn’t go there with me!” “I meant no offense…just trying to make a point.” “A point? Here’s a better point, genius! Have you ever seen roosters on special at your local supermarket back on Earth? No. You always saw the ‘ladies’. Like my meat, I am just too darned tough! You are such a birdbrain!” “Great…the guy with the feathers is calling me a birdbrain.”

Waiting for a sequel!
Love, love, LOVED this book!! Super cute, hilarious, and very creative. I'm 31 years old and still found myself laughing out loud, and rooting for Cluck to take down the bad guy. I ordered the Kindle version, and am now kicking myself for not ordering the paper version. (I will be ordering the paper version this week.) This is one of the best kids books I have read in a long while. Great for all ages. I'm hoping this becomes a series, because you can't help but become a fan of Cluck and his cocky catchphrases. Feathers crossed for more Cluck stories!!

Very funny
I could almost picture this as a cartoon. I can see some middle school kids really liking it and some of the elementary school (fifth graders) enjoying it too. Maybe even a read out loud in school. I laughed a lot reading it. Cute!

Cluck: a Spy with Pluck
While the story starts a little slow with a lot of background information (most unnecessary to the plot), it quickly picks up steam in the second chapter. A fun, action-filled story, brimming with sarcasm and goofy puns, Cluck the Undercover Chicken is an entertaining read. The interaction between the narrator (the last human on earth) and Cluck, the main character, is snarky and laugh-out-loud funny. While some of the humor may go over a younger child’s head—fried chicken jokes mostly—it’s still interesting enough to keep them entertained. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this wacky spy story!
