WHO WOKE MY ROOSTERS?
AT THE CHICKEN RANCH…
EVEN THE ROOSTERS KEEP SECRETS.
Bernie Towtonelli’s life has gone spectacularly off the rails.
His West Coast meeting with Rose Publishing was nearly a train wreck. Back home, Harry—the farm’s only rooster—is behaving strangely during Bernie’s absence. Bernie’s grandson has dyed his hair blue and is conducting psychological experiments on himself—yesterday he was known as Skim Milk, and today he wants to transform into a Blue Mango tree.
Things at the Chicken Ranch are downright suspicious.
Arson and vandalism have become routine. Flocks of abandoned roosters are mysteriously appearing on the property. And a shadowy buyer is pressuring Bernie to sell his beloved farm.
Bernie may be facing a late-life crisis—and if he isn’t careful, it could cost him everything.
The only steady force in Bernie’s life is his wife, Simone, who somehow manages to keep both her husband and the farm moving forward while Bernie tries to make sense of the chaos swirling around them.
Instead of rushing home to deal with the madness, Bernie decides to clear his head the only way he knows how: a 5,000-mile Amtrak journey across America. Along the way he meets unforgettable characters, hears extraordinary stories, and slowly realizes that the answers to his problems may be waiting back at the farm he loves.
Join Bernie and his delightfully eccentric family and friends as they race to uncover the truth, save the Chicken Ranch, and survive the nonstop shenanigans at their unforgettable funny farm.
Not your average farm story. Not even close!
