Waiting for Chicken Smith
Mackintosh, David
"Every year
I stay in the same cabin at the beach with my family
and every year Chicken Smith's here too
with his Dad and his dog
Jelly. But this year
something's different." As we hang on the words of the narrator
we learn of the legendary Chicken Smith and the beachside town that has been the backdrop to their school-holiday adventures for years. But will Chicken Smith turn up this year? Or will a friendship of a different kind blossom. A story about childhood friendship
the inevitability of change and the magic of anticipation.
