WINNER OF THE OSCAR'S BOOK PRIZE 2022

From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful and keenly observed cautionary tale about pushing boundaries and indulging your more mischievous, cheeky side (when nobody is looking).

Three little monkeys, and their big monkey, are sitting high up on their branch in the forest canopy. β€œOK, monkeys! I’m off," says the big monkey. β€œNow remember. Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.”

Mmm … mangos! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangos. Hmm ... maybe … maybe they could just look at the mangos? That’d be OK, right?
