Overview of Summer of the Monkeys
Fourteen-year-old Jay Berry Lee is walking through the Ozark Mountains of Oklahoma in search of a lost cow when he encounters a tree full of monkeys. When Jay learns from his grandpa that the monkeys have escaped from a traveling circus, and there’s a big reward for the person who finds and returns them, he is thrust into a story of heart, humor, and excitement.
Jay sets off, determined to catch the monkeys, as he has his eye on a pony and a hunting gun. By the end of the summer, Jay will have learned a lot more than he bargained for—and not just about monkeys.
As you immerse yourself in the story, journey back in time and learn about the Civil War and Clara Barton, transportation in the late 1800s, and the history of the circus in America. Explore nature study as you learn about sycamore trees, chimpanzees, and fairy rings. Pack your bags and travel to Cherokee Nation and the Ozark Mountains.
