And right now, Charlie has quite a lot to worry about. His brother (who is in hospital), his parents (who are panicking about it) and the school bully (who has Charlie in his sights). Even though every kid wants a superhero power, Charlie isn’t keen on changing into a chicken in the middle of the school play. So with the help of his three best friends, Charlie needs to find a way of dealing with his crazy new power – and fast!
