Magill's Literary 2019

Nine-year-old Beanie is coping with more than most kids his age, including treatment for leukemia. But Beanie's not bothered about that; he just wants to be part of his big brother's gang of friends. To show he's got what it takes, Beanie braves a scary deserted house where he finds a young chimpanzee. But where did Malcolm the chimp come from, how does he know sign language, and who are the sinister men pursuing him? Monkey & Me is a heart-warming story packed with courage and humor.
