Kids Book Review says of Monkey Magic:
“Cleverly woven with delicious subplots that will engage young readers, Monkey Magic is also strewn with environmental references and information that are played upon in a subtle but vital way. The messages are well done, the plot is well-crafted and the storyline is full of enough action, adventure, magic, baddies and goodies to make it a real page-turner.”

You can buy a copy online at http://tinyurl.com/23234vm. I am having an official launch party on Thursday, when I’ll also be speaking at Tanglin School in Singapore.

Just got this fab review from Alice Berger of the esteemed Berger Reviews in the USA:
“This delightful, magical tale shows us how greed can harm wildlife, and why we need to take immediate action to try to stop it. I highly recommend this enjoyable story with a great environmental message.”

That’s me handing a 500 pound cheque to Grainne McEntee of Borneo Orangutan Survival in London this week – money from the proceeds of Monkey Magic! Grainne and her colleagues in Indonesia and Europe work tirelessly to help rehabilitate orangutans, with about 900 apes under their care. Considering there are just 40,000 or so left in the world, that’s a large chunk of the population. Grainne and Aaron Reid told me about an exciting project to release orphaned orangutans into the wild this year. Every donation counts, so thanks everyone for buying Monkey Magic - a great read (I hope) and a great cause (without doubt).
