Farrar Straus & Giroux. 08/01/2004. 165 pgs. It's 1943, World War II is in full swing, and 12-year-old Celie is living with her family on the Massachusetts coast, when her father brings home a pet monkey that she names Charley. The little ape immediately scampers up a tree and pelts everyone on the head with chestnuts, and during dinner, he urinates into Celie's lap. Then his behavior gets even worse: another girl reaches out to pet him, and he bites her. When Celie's brother runs off to Boston to join the navy, Celie and her next-door neighbor Joey decide to chase him down and stop him, but they have to take the monkey with them, since he's been escaping and running wild. This atmospheric tale evokes the anxious and stressful American home front during the war as seen through the eyes of a spirited young girl. Her deepening friendship with Joey becomes even more important when Joey's father is suddenly killed. Originally published at $16.00 You save 94% off the cover price!
