' Chasing cows and pigs. Mockery. Rude songs. Piracy, bullying, revenge, warfare and general thuggery. ' This is the list of approved duck activities and it does NOT include poetry. The ducks of Little Dismal are angry. A scruffy chicken called Clara has been telling lies about them. They need revenge. Enter Rita - a duck with the soul of a poet. After an embarrassing talent night, Rita sees revenge on Clara as a chance to restore her reputation. But Rita finds more than revenge on her mission. She uncovers a dastardly plan to chook-nap the clever chicken that will take them both a long way from home. Luckily, it' s Rita' s unlikely friendship with a small human and the help of some street-smart birds that just might save the day and inspire an epic poem! ' Jealousy, revenge, crime, adventure, duck poetry and laugh-out-loud comedy -? Rita' s Revenge? has it all! I adore this book. ' Katrina Nannestad, author of The Girl, the Dog, the Writer in Rome
