Bookroo's summary

Kai, seeking excitement beyond her mother's books, defies warnings and seeks the notorious Monkey King. Her journey into Chinese mythology promises thrilling encounters with magical gods and legendary peaches. But as Kai delves deeper, she must question if her heroes are truly as they seem. Will the Monkey King bring the adventure she craves or unforeseen trouble? Embark on a captivating journey where myths come alive and nothing is as expected.

From the publisher

When Kai grows tired of her bookish mum not being adventurous enough for a Brownstone, she decides to seek out the mischievous and rebellious Monkey King - who she’s always been told to stay away from. Will he bring her the adventure she craves, or will he cause her more trouble than he’s worth? Read the latest story from the mythical Brownstone’s family vault where we venture to China and learn about the story of the Monkey King, meet magical gods, taste powerful peaches and see that maybe our heroes aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. Winner of the 2018 Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, longlisted for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, and most recently nominated for an Eisner for Arthur and the Golden Rope, Joe Todd-Stanton is a master at storytelling and illustration, and this time he takes his history loving adventurer deep into Chinese mythology.
