Bookroo's summary

When a circus truck loses a mysterious red box on a ranch, Hank and Drover can't resist investigating. Despite Pete's warnings, Hank's curiosity unleashes a circus monkey, sparking a whirlwind of chaos and fun. What adventures await as they navigate this unexpected twist? Will the ranch ever be the same again?

From the publisher

A convoy of circus trucks is passing through the ranch. The last truck in the column hits a bump and a large red box falls off and comes to rest in the pasture. Hank and Drover investigate the box and discover that it contains a circus monkey. Pete advises Hank not to open it, but Hank’s curiosity gets the best of him. What follows is fun and adventure.
