Overview
Three friends become caught up in a monkey worshipping cult when a stone circle suddenly appears overnight next to their home. The cult is headed by famous racing driver Gordon Smash who disappeared in the Amazon rainforest in the 90s after a stunt went badly wrong. Alongside space tech billionaire Micky Minosa, Gordon Smash declares monkeys Emile, Zola and Titus are gods who must be blasted into space to receive a message from alien overlords on how to save Earth. Will the monkeys and their superfan Jesse, an African grey parrot, save the world from climate destruction? Or are they being used by evil forces to scam us all? Bernard and his best friends Larold and Kris try to uncover the shocking truth about saving the planet but will it be too late to save the monkeys? The Monkey Stones can be read as a standalone novel or as part of the The Missing Fur series with The Mystery of the Missing Fur and The Macaw of Doom. It is a fast-paced comedy crime caper set in the English countryside with a cast of crazy characters who are intent on stealing Emile, Zola and Titus from monkey parent Bernard, his two best friends, and their animal friends including a giant anteater, two tigers, 22 lemurs, one capybara and a super-furred cat. The books are themed around conservation and endangered species and set around Folkestone, Kent, the Amazon and Manchester.

Reviews
'This book is very disrespectful to olms.' An olm, Cave 230, Italy. 'This book is very disrespectful to axolotls.' An axolotl, Mexico. 'There's still not enough dogs in it.' Bruno, my sister's dog. PRAISE FOR THE MISSING FUR ""Hard to buy books for 11 year olds. This really worked! The combination of mystery-tension and silliness, I think. Could hear him chuckling away. Read it in 2 days over the holidays. Will be getting the next one!"" ""Really enjoyed this book, funny, sad and a thrilling mystery that adults can enjoy as much as their kids. Would definitely recommend it."" ""My two daughters - 10 and 11 years old enjoyed the mysterious unexpected events in the book and the animal characters made the story so much fun. They were very eager to know what happens next and some of the animals even inspired one of the girl to use the characters for her creative writing exam. Two children heroes in the book are very brave, determined and truly inspirational."" ""I bought this book as was recommended by a friend. My kids (boys 8 and 10 ) talked about the monkeys and Bernard so much that I decided to read it too. It's a really great read, fun but also with a darker side about illegal wildlife trafficking that gave the story some real jeopardy. The boys had a lot of questions about this so led to some good discussions about conservation generally.""
