Sometimes a big adventure needs a little chicken… Noodles has always been a fearful sort of cat—a chicken, as some would say—sheltered from the outside world by a loving family, living a life most cats only dream about. But when tragedy strikes, Noodles suddenly finds himself lost and alone, wandering aimlessly through a strange city, forced to accept help from the unlikeliest of creatures—an obnoxious little bird who may or may not know what he’s doing. Together, the two of them embark on a journey filled with quirky characters, terrifying monsters, exploding mustard, and a clever young girl named Cricket who happens to be in a real pickle of a problem. Her evil uncle, Alabaster Goom, has taken her prisoner and is planning on using her to help him steal a priceless artifact. Can Noodles help Cricket escape the clutches of her uncle before it’s too late, or is this less-than-courageous kitty really just a big chicken? Chicken Noodles is a heartwarming and humorous story of loss, life, and love that explores what it means to be part of a family.
