About Do You Know The Monkey
Product Description For thirteen-year-old Samantha, life consists of too many unanswered questions about her past. Why has her father not tried to contact her all these years? How could he have allowed her twin sister to drown in Clearwater Quarry when they were only toddlers? And how can Samantha's mother expect her to accept some man she hardly knows as her new father? Samantha already has a father out there. Somewhere. A fateful decision sets into motion a chain of events and confrontations that will change Samantha's and her family's lives forever. As she sets out to find her father and discover what really happened the day her sister was presumed drowned, she uncovers painful secrets that threaten to destroy her family all over again. Dori Butler’s dramatic, suspenseful, and sensitive story will draw readers into one family’s crisis unwittingly brought on by an adolescent girl’s search for the truth. Review "Butler has a simplicity of narrative voice that makes the story easy to read while reflecting the often complex emotions of children." "Middle-graders looking for a simple mystery will be pleased, and the story may inspire them to think about the concepts of identity and family that are threaded through the story."
