Summary: don't read this book it is boring
Review: I thought this was the most boringest book i had ever read in 5th and im in 8th grade and i still hate it. I thought it didn't make much sense at all about catching monkeys. It wasn't very intresting at all. I'm also complaining about the print "it was so SMALL that you had to use a magnify glass to even try to see the words"

Summary: a touching adventure that shows the true value of family
Review: Summer of the Monkeys tells the story of Jay Berry, a 14 year old boy from Oklahoma. The book covers his adventures one summer with a group of monkeys. Set in the late 1800's in the heart of the Cherokee Indian country, Wilson Rawls tells this coming of age story in which we can all relate. Rawls skill as a master story teller, which is evident in his other impressive work, Where the Red Fern Grows,comes through with characters for whom we relate. It is a tale of hope and sacrifice that we call learn from.

Summary: A hilarious story
Review: If you like a good laugh, then you should read this book. It is also the best book that I have read. I have read it atleast 3 times already. The main character is a young boy who lives in the mountains and one summer a group of circus monkeys escape from the circus and are hiding in the mountains. There is a big reward for catching the monkeys and the boy spends the whole summer trying to catch the monkeys. The only problem is the monkeys are too smart to be caught. That is when the fun begins. I Hope you enjoy the book as much as I do.
