They were on their own — three kids and one giant chicken. Stuck in Hoboken for the summer, Nick Itch, Loretta Fischetti, and Bruno Ugg are really, really bored. After whiling away their time spitting in the Hudson River and trying to teach Henrietta, Nick’s 266-pound chicken, how to juggle marshmallows, they’re ready for something — anything — to happen.

When a mysterious and brilliant chalk artist starts decorating Hoboken’s streets, the three friends are blown away. They set off to explore the art world in a frenzy of adventurous drawing, screeving, and eggplant picnics.
