Chicken Friend

Becca and her eccentric family have moved to a small village and Becca desperately misses her friends. Then she meets Jazz and Mel – two cool local girls of her own age, who seem much older. Keen to impress, Becca agrees to let their gang of friends come to her twelfth birthday party – and insists her parents stay away. But someone has brought alcohol and things get out of hand. One of Becca’s little brothers falls into the stream and is rescued just in time, and then a fire is started in the barn by a cigarette. As Jazz shows a more vulnerable, human side, and a real friendship tentatively begins, Becca realizes that she doesn’t need to change herself to try to fit in.
