For the third day of The Twelve Days of Inkwell, the three French hens will look a little different considering that they will be zombie hens! Julie Mata’s lighthearted novel, Kate Walden Directs: Night of the Zombie Chickens, follows a 7th grade aspiring director as she juggles her mother’s prized hens and exploring new friendships.

For the fourth day, we ventured into the animal kingdom to follow calling birds among other species to learn how they get around. Supernavigators: Exploring the Wonders of How Animals Find Their Way by David Barrie delves into the mystery behind the methods of how animals and insects know their way around the world.
