About

Life isn’t easy when you go to Ronald Reagan Junior High. The teachers are weird, the cross-country team doesn’t have any funding, and the cafeteria never has the right food on the right day!

But for Andrea Deandrea Hafferton, typical teen suckiness gets ratcheted to a new level after an accident in the school science lab curses her with the world’s most awkward disorder: she mutates into a ferocious “werechicken” during the most inconvenient times.
