The last thing a fourteen-year-old boy expects to find along an old Ozark river bottom is a tree full of monkeys. Jay Berry Lee's grandpa had an explanation, of course--as he did for most things. The monkeys had escaped from a traveling circus, and there was a handsome reward in store for anyone who could catch them. Grandpa said there wasn't any animal that couldn't be caught somehow, and Jay Berry started out believing him . . .
But by the end of the "summer of the monkeys," Jay Berry Lee had learned a lot more than he ever bargained for--and not just about monkeys. He learned about faith, and wishes coming true, and knowing what it is you really want. He even learned a little about growing up . . .
This novel, set in rural Oklahoma around the turn of the century, is a heart-warming family story--full of rich detail and delightful characters--about a time and place when miracles were really the simplest of things...

I read where the red fern grows so this book is by the same writer so I want to read this book
This book was really good and at the end I was so happy Jay Berry sister got her leg fixed and I like that he finally became friends with the monkeys. and the lead monkey was so smart. you should definitely read this book.
I loved how the book described everything so well like I was actually in the story. The book was very different from the movie and I think it was very unique and exciting plus very adventurous.
This was the best book ever.
