Negative Positive
Title: From a middle school librarian
Review: First of all the book has eye appeal. The title and cover catch your eye and invite a closer inspection. Then the story catches your attention and you are drawn into the world of Jennifer and her friends who embark on a venture to try and save Kissy, the little monkey she had loved all its life. Kissy was to be used in a dangerous army experiment, and Jennifer was determined to save her at all costs. The rescue efforts involve the girls in some risky adventures and creates some humorous predicaments. The characters are well-drawn; the conversations flow smoothly; the action is exciting; the outcome is very satisfying. There is also a warm relationship between Jennifer and her father that is also very satisfying. The situations are those that young people could well imagine themselves to be involved. I would unhesitatingly recommend "Operation Monkeymail" to librarians, parents, and students. A good read.
