"A duck with a wonky leg and a blind chicken set off together on an adventurous journey. They've heard there is a place where secret wishes can come true. Their quest brings exciting events, astonishing obstacles and a surprising number of things to disagree on. When they finally arrive at their destination they discover - but let's not reveal the end before we've started ..."--Back cover. A very funny story about courage, true friendship and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind chicken on a goose chase. A lame duck is eking out a lonely existence in her backyard until one day a blind chicken stumbles in, lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the way--a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of opinion. The chicken starts to wish she'd taken a guide dog rather than a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world.
