Roger the chick almost never gets the chance to do things on his own—he is always attached to his mother, Olive the hen, who prefers quiet naps to any kind of excitement. They even get borrowed together as Book Buddies at the library.
But what Roger really wants is the chance for adventure.
To make his little sister happy, eight-year-old Liam agrees to borrow Olive and Roger and bring them to the airport to pick up Grandpa. But when Liam is busy trying to show Grandpa he isn't a little kid anymore, he loses track of Roger, who gets left behind at the airport.
Could this be the chance that Roger has been waiting for, or will this airport adventure prove too exciting even for him? And can admitting a mistake give Liam the chance to show how grown up he is—and help him get Roger back from the airport Lost and Found?

      In this early chapter book series starter, Newbery Honoree Lord (the Shelter Pet Squad series) introduces the Book Buddies, a collection of playthings that live at a public library and can be checked out for two-week intervals. Ivy, a brown-skinned doll with black braids, is the forgotten favorite childhood toy of children’s librarian Anne; after Anne rediscovers Ivy in a box, the doll becomes the newest Book Buddy. When eight-year-old Fern, depicted as brown-skinned and curly-haired in gentle art by Graegin (Little Fox in the Forest), reluctantly borrows Ivy to appease her younger white stepsister Sophie, Ivy finds courage in new friendships with Fern and her fellow Book Buddies, all while helping Fern voice her own complicated feelings about her place in her blended family. B&w sketchlike illustrations in Graegin’s signature style lighten the tone of a story that touches on fears of loss and abandonment. Humorous, lively conversations between the Book Buddies—who include a sparkly, pink-tailed, deep-voiced unicorn (“Dazzle is a boy”) and Roger, a chick whose adventures include falling into a (clean) toilet and narrowly avoiding being buried by a dog—offer the promise of happy borrowings ahead. Ages 6–9. Author’s agent: Tracey Adams, Adams Literary. Illustrator’s agent: Steven Malk, Writers House.
