After being separated from his ship, Archie finds himself on a strange jungle island. He sets out to make the best of the situation, quickly creating a home and finding some new friends. But then the island is under attack by pirates! Can Archie and his friends find a way to protect the island?I love books about monkeys, so I was not surprised when I really enjoyed this book. Archie is clever, industrious, and resourceful. (There are a lot of great tips in here for people who ever find themselves shipwrecked on a strange beach). I could easily see this becoming a series. It's a great title for fans of monkeys, pirates, or fun children's books.
