About

"Get ready for a rollercoaster of a ride full of fun, mystery, and adventure in Monkey Madness: Tiger Trials. I absolutely loved this book." - Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review

Brought to life by 50 pieces of full-color artwork, Monkey Madness introduces young readers to the Tiger Trials series. Tilly the tiger was born to be the next Rainforest Queen, just like her mother. She's fast, smart, pouncy, and has the coolest stripes in all of Dappledew. Nothing's going to stop her from acing the Tiger Trials.

That is, until a mysterious monkey shows up and messes with her head whenever the pressure is on. Worse yet, the monkey is in her head, and Tilly has no idea why.

Suddenly, the simplest things are impossible. Schoolwork that used to be a breeze leaves her shaken. Bullies like Mox the mongoose and Scuri the cobra sniff out her uncertainty. Worst of all, there's a strange figure watching from the depths of Tilly's cave, and the monkey doesn't like it one bit.

To pass the Tiger Trials, Tilly will need more than wits, bravery, and brawn. She must overcome the monkey, along with the fear and anxiety it brings her. Family and friends are eager to help - especially Neda the hippo and Muri the starling bird. But if Tilly is to become the hero she was born to be, she has to tame the monkey in her mind on her own.

What's inside:
• A full-color illustrated chapter book with 26,000 words and 50 colorful illustrations
• A story designed for kids 6-10 about courage, anxiety, family, and feelings hidden inside an exciting, relatable adventure
• Bullies, mysteries, and more: real stakes pull reluctant readers in and keep them turning pages
• Monkey Madness is the start of a satsifying series with unforgettable characters, relatable themes, and an original story that'll keep kids reading

Monkey Madness is designed to deliver a rewarding experience for eager readers while keeping reluctant readers' attention. And with full-color artwork packed into a chapter book, graphic novel lovers will find a lot to love.

One teacher said, "The illustrations were beautiful and really brought the characters to life." And as for Tilly's monkey, another educator said, "This story opens the door for meaningful conversations with students about self-confidence, perseverance, and managing the 'voices' in our heads..."

Young readers who enjoy Dragon Masters or The Wild Robot will be right at home in Monkey Madness. Add the emotional depth of Inside Out, and you've got a series that'll have kids pouncing for more.
