Product Description Monkeys come to the rescue of a struggling family in this traditional tale from a Carnegie Medal winner. Tashi lives in a tiny village below the tea plantations where her mother earns a living. One day her mother falls ill, and Tashi must pick tea to earn the money for a doctor. But she is too small to reach the tender shoots and the cruel Overseer sends her away empty-handed. Tashi needs a miracle. Then, on the mountains high above the plantation where only monkeys live, something extraordinary happens that will change her life for ever… Review "The touching tale of Tashi's relationship with her mother and with a troupe of monkeys is enhanced by Juan Wijngaard's evocative and sumptuous illustrations... Beautifully produced, the novel is an object to cherish and a tale to remember." (Sunday Times)"
