AGE 7+ This is the first book in the 'Prickly-Pong Series' and has proved immensely popular with primary aged children, since its publication in 2017. (Please read the reviews for more details) The children love the swashbuckling adventure and find the central character of Minoo very engaging. A cheeky, likeable island monkey who strikes up a great friendship with Jay and his sister. The story has a strong conservation theme and is an ideal title to purchase if the readers are interested in the rain forest or a similar environmental theme. Here is a brief summary of the story: - Jay finds school difficult but his twin sister Sanjana loves it - so when Dad wins a holiday to a desert island, Jay thinks all his dreams have come true! Maths and spellings tests are happily replaced with climbing palm trees and making friends with the mischievous monkeys. But living in an island paradise doesn't turn out to be all fun & games and before long, Jay and Sanjana become entangled in a daring, real-life escapade they would never have believed possible! Pirates and 'Prickly-Pong' - Lost treasure and tattooed tribes... Life soon becomes VERY different from school! Danger is lurking everywhere - something even more terrifying than the most menacing pirate... Important choices have to be made. The family need wood to build a boat to search for nearby treasure but Jay is worried, he's concerned about Minoo and his monkey friends - their island home might become damaged or destroyed?! But Jay's parents don't want to listen to his concerns, and so a dramatic sequence of events starts to unfold... No one could imagine what the consequences would be... TOP REVIEW "My 7 year old son absolutely loved this story and it is probably the best book we have ever read together. From the very beginning he was enthralled and did not want to stop as he was so excited to see what would happen next - and I have to admit I was captivated by the story too! The story is very well written with the perfect mix of adventure and suspense. There are also a couple of underlying morals to the story which make good talking points. My son didn't want this book to end and cannot wait for the next one in the series. I would highly recommend this book for boys and girls aged 6-10... "
Look out for the next book in the series, 'Prickly-Pong Island & the Revenge of Captain Red'.
