Nine-year-old Beanie is coping with more than most kids his age, including treatment for leukaemia. But Beanie's not bothered about that, he just wants to be part of his big brother's gang of friends. To show he's got what it takes, Beanie braves a scary deserted house where he finds a young chimpanzee. But where did Malcolm the chimp come from, how does he know sign language, and who are the sinister men pursuing him? MONKEY & ME is a heart-warming story packed with courage and humour.

Media Reviews
I haven't read anything like this book before. It was very sad at times and it brought more than one tear to my eye but parts were also funny and made me laugh out loud. I liked this sad, humorous, emotional book and I rate it 93/4 out of 10. -- Reader Review * The Guardian Children's Books site *
funny, fast-paced and touching -- Geraldine Brennan * Books for Keeps *
