In today's fast-paced, technology-driven society, a 10-year-old named Mason finds the simplicity of raising chickens in his backyard rewarding. Mason's story begins when he finds his mother's 4-H guide and a book on chickens in his grandparents' dusty old farm building. Secretly reading the books in bed one night he decides 4-H is for him.

After Mason convinces his parents he is responsible and will do what it takes in 4-H, he has some trouble with the various 4-H activities, as he attempts to try things he's never done before.

Finally, Mason's dream of having chickens comes true. But once the baby chicks arrive there are new challenges that the whole family takes on together. Can Mason handle the unexpected? Will he be able to find time for friends, sports and other activities? Will he see the importance of his family even with a pesky younger brother in the mix? Let's see if you can pick out what is learned along the way!
