Rendition Supposing Books Summer of the Monkeys

The last thing a fourteen-year-old boy expects to find along an old Ozark river bottom is a tree full of monkeys. Jay Berry Lee's grandpa had an explanation, of course--as he did for most things. The monkeys had escaped from a traveling circus, and there was a handsome reward in store for anyone who could catch them. Grandpa said there wasn't any animal that couldn't be caught somehow, and Jay Berry started out believing him . . . But by the end of the "summer of the monkeys," Jay Berry Lee had learned a lot more than he ever bargained for--and not just about monkeys. He learned about faith, and wishes coming true, and knowing what it is you really want. He even learned a little about growing up . . . This novel, set in rural Oklahoma around the turn of the century, is a heart-warming family story--full of rich detail and delightful characters--about a time and place when miracles were really the simplest of things...

Write-Up Epithetical Books Summer of the Monkeys
Disney ruined this book when they made it into a movie. The novel is vastly different and so much better. A great read aloud that will have you both laughing and crying. I like this book much better than, Where the Red Fern Grows, which the author is more known for.

Now this is a classic! I thoroughly enjoyed this book when my mom read it to me in the past. I think I might have read it again a second time by myself. Anyway, I loved it! Jay (I believe), and his crippled sister, and his faithful dog, his endearing grandpa, and the bottoms full of monkeys!Maybe this year is the time for a re-read of Summer of the Monkeys! :)P.S. The movie doesn't come close. Not even.

I'm ashamed that it's taken me so many years to start reading Wilson Rawls books. I'm genuinely surprised that none of my schools had this as a class read. This is a great book for a novel study, for teaching voice, setting, use of language, point of view, etc. It has a great lesson without being at all preachy. Just a wonderful, wonderful book. However, I can see how some people have issues with it. There are stereotypes for women always being nosey, overprotective and only show his (the main



Summer of the Monkeys is the second of only two books by author Wilson Rawls. Id always heard it was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows, so it seemed like a good choice to pull from my to-be-read shelf. Summer of the Monkeys was better than good, it was absolutely wonderful! (And this comment comes from me, a person not interested in animal stories!) No question, one of the best books Ive read this summer!This is a story of a young boy, Jay Berry, growing up many decades ago

"Up until I was fourteen years old, no boy on earth could have been happier. I didnt have a worry in the world. In fact, I was beginning to think that it wasnt going to be hard at all for me to grow up. But, just when things were really looking good for me, something happened. I got mixed up with a bunch of monkeys and all of my happiness flew right out the window. Those monkeys all but drove me out of my mind."Its the late 1800s and brand-new country just opened up for settlement. The Lee

Hands down, this is one of the best books I've ever read. I don't know why I've never read it before and neither have any of my children. Thomas came home from school last week and said he had started it in class. Then I went to a RS night on children's literature and one of my girlfriends there also recommended it. I picked it up and read it in just 3 short sessions, and loved it. This book will make an excellent read aloud with children at about the age of 8 or 9, when they are starting to
