Bookseller recommendation

“Both of these lively audiobooks follow determined found families as they fight against injustice and learn to trust one another. You might cry during their heartfelt adventures, but you will definitely cheer.”

Bookseller recommendation

“When two egg industry auditors devise a plan to steal a million chickens, you won’t think they’re crazy—you’ll be rooting for them the whole way. Barn 8 hits the ground running like a chicken with its head cut off. A colorful cast is brought to life beautifully in the audiobook, and there’s plenty of irony and thoughtfulness. The most emotional moments for me were those which involved the chickens—their lives, their wants, their freedom. At just the right time, Deb Olin Unferth gracefully shines light on animal rights and the future of humanity with this wonderful, quirky story, unlike anything you’ve read before!”

Summary

Janey and Cleveland are two auditors for the US egg industry who go rogue and conceive a plot to steal a millionchickens in the middle of the night—an entire egg farm’s worth of animals. They assemble a precarious, quarrelsometeam and descend on the farm on a dark spring evening. It doesn’t go as planned.In her most powerful work yet, Deb Olin Unferth tells a wildly inventive, unforgettable heist story, with one millionnonhuman consciousnesses at its center. Funny, philosophical, heartening and heartbreaking, Barn 8 ultimately asks:What constitutes meaningful action in a world so in need of change? Unferth comes at this question with strikingingenuity, razor-sharp wit, and ferocious passion. Barn 8 is a rare comic-political drama that could have been writtenby no one else.
