Imaginative, fun story for children

In "Monkey Fun" author Wadie Andrawis has created a fast moving and fun tale full of colorful characters that young readers are sure to enjoy. Some of the unusual characters include a witty parrot named Lou and two talking chimpanzees. The primary character is Sam who deals with the tragedy of becoming an orphan by losing his ability to speak. But the patience and love shown by his many friends help bring him through it to where he becomes whole again. It is a story of overcoming the things that limit us in life and providing hope where sometimes it seems there is none. The only thing that I didn't like about the book is the total lack of originality when it comes to how Sam became an orphan. The story line is that he became an orphan as a result of the World Trade Center events of September 11. It seems it has become customary to the point of being nauseating for an author to somehow tie his story back to September 11. The author has shown throughout the rest of the story that he can think creatively, why not here?For children between approximately ten and thirteen this should prove to be an interesting story that they will probably enjoy. "Monkey Fun" is a recommended read for this older pre-teen market.
