After days of rain and storms, Maddie O'Brien is restless to venture out into the forest. Little could she know that while walking with her beloved grandfather, they will come upon a nest of eleven turkey eggs protected by their dying mother. Maddie and Otis can't save the brave wild turkey hen, yet they are determined to hatch out and raise her feisty poults. But times are hard for the O'Brien family and as Thanksgiving looms ever nearer, it seems certain that Maddie's beloved turkeys are destined for the roaster and the holiday dinner table. How can Maddie O'Brien save her turkeys and still help her family pay its bills? That is the challenge and when you read this delightful and unforgettable sequel to MADDIE O'BRIEN'S CHRISTMAS DONKEYS, you'll discover how love, bravery and the spirit of Maddie's wild turkeys prove to be a blessing for the O'Brien family and their entire Northern Arizona town. And you will also learn something about the noble wild turkey that Benjamin Franklin once believed courageous enough to replace the bald eagle as America's greatest symbol of freedom.
