Praise for Monkey Magic

“My son loved this book and is even more inspired to become
a Wildlife Warrior!” TERRI IRWIN, naturalist
“A gripping adventure with an important message.”
JEREMY STRONG, bestselling author
“A super book! Please buy it, treasure it in your library and share its message with your family."
DAVID BELLAMY, television presenter, conservationist and writer
“This delightful, magical tale shows us how greed can harm wildlife, and why we need to take immediate action to try to stop it. I highly recommend this enjoyable story with a great environmental message.”
ALICE BERGER, Bergers Reviews, USA
“Cleverly woven with delicious subplots, Monkey Magic is also strewn with environmental references and information that are played upon in a subtle but vital way. I’ve always loved an engaging story that also teaches – parents, teachers and librarians will be similarly enthralled, for this very reason – but I’m also happy to say that kids won’t become bogged down in a plot full of preaching. The messages are well done, the plot is well-crafted and the storyline is full of enough action, adventure, magic, baddies and goodies to make it a real page-turner.”
TANIA McCARTNEY, Kids Book Review
"Highly recommended as a story telling resource for primary aged children - one which takes them on an adventure to the jungles of Borneo to meet the orangutans and also one that inspires thought regarding the current conservation issues of illegal logging in Indonesia and protection of the jungles and the orangutans natural habitat."
JULIE NEWNHAM, Australian author and teacher
“A wonderful, magical story. I’m sure children
will both benefit from it and love it.”
ZAC GOLDSMITH, environmentalist
“It’s a wonderful book and an exciting adventure! The book deserves to be read and enjoyed by as many children as possible. I couldn't stop once I’d started. The author combines magic with descriptions
of real orangutans fantastically well.”
ANGELA ROYSTON, author of 200 children’s books
“Monkey Magic is an enchanting story about a most unusual ape.”
“JUNGLE” JACK HANNA, Emmy winning "Into the Wild” host
“A gripping adventure that will touch the heart of any child. A must- read for any child or parent. It ensnares you into the fight of good against evil, the struggle against greed, crooks—and the fate of the orangutan. Monkey Magic has the detail, mystery and surprises required in a really good book.”
DR CHRISTIAN NELLEMANN
Editor, United Nations report “The Last Stand of the Orangutan”
“A fantastic novel!” THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, USA
“I loved it! The author manages to sneak in lots of interesting facts about orangutans and the threats facing them in the story. I really enjoyed reading it, couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next and didn’t notice I was reading a children’s book!”
HELEN BUCKLAND, Sumatran Orangutan Society
"The marvellous third book in the series is a magical story. A series of unexpected twists and turns keeps the reader fully engaged. This book also brings a great environmental message about conservation. It is a special treat for all young animal lovers. I strongly recommend this book to students aged eight to 13."
