Synopsis

Cancel your dinner plans and dig in to Thundercluck! by Paul Tillery IV and Meg Wittwer. This is the first audiobook in a hilarious new series stuffed with Norse mythology and a superhero chicken ready to ruffle some feathers.

When danger calls . . . BAGAW! calls back!

An evil chef faces off against the god Thor, and a hen's egg is caught in the crossfire. It hatches into a powerful chick called Thundercluck, beloved by the gods but a target for evildoers everywhere. When the Under-Cook threatens to make everyone into rotisserie, there's only one chicken who can scramble his scheme.

Thundercluck! Half mortal. Half god. All-natural chicken.

Time and time again, they fi......more

Thundercluck must go to the human world to grow up, protected from Under Chef, and he returns when he's bigger. But Thor and the other gods are tricked by Under Chef and they're......more
