MONKEY AND ME
THE MONKEY IN ME is a delightful, poignant story, full of humour. Ten-year-old Jez Matthews or Beanie as he is called because of the headgear he wears constantly is always getting into scrapes, and his older brother Mark keeps getting a black eye from standing up to belligerent kids who pick on his younger brother. Their dad has given up his job as a truck driver to work as a postman, to be closer to home, and we know that things are not quite right with the family. But there's a world outside filled with excitement and intrigue as Beanie makes a bid to join his brother's gang, and they brave the scary deserted house The Black Gate, where some creature is making frightening noises only to come upon, of all things, a chimpanzee. How exactly he got there is a mystery to be solved as Beanie bonds with the ape he names Malcolm, discovering that he seems to know some basic sign language. Has he escaped from an animal experiment laboratory? Who are the men pursuing him? And can the boys rescue Malcolm from what could be a harsh fate, with the help, perhaps of a deaf girl .
