He's not  human, but he is certainly no longer like other chimps. And then one  night, after years at the family's Vermont home, their unique family  life is changed forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the Girdish Institute, a group of  chimpanzees has been studied for decades. There is proof that chimps  have memories and solve problems, that they can learn language and need  friends. They are political, altruistic, get angry, and forgive. Mr.  Ghoul has been there from the beginning, and has grown up in a world of  rivals, sex, and unpredictable loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooee and Mr. Ghoul travel  distant but parallel paths through childhood, adolescence, and early  middle age until Looee, who endures the darker side of Girdish, ends up  meeting his kindred spirit long after he moves from Vermont.","brand":"Soho Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151608430832,"sku":"9781616953164","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616953164_p0.jpg?v=1763850713","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616953164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
