Description:

Monkey is here! The trickster. The cool dude with the magic staff. When Michael frees the Monkey King he has no idea of the trouble he will cause. Tricksy monkey magic sends Michael's parents to the Paradise in the West, in the Land of Dragons. With Pigsy the hopeless henchman and Kwan-yin the beautiful but spoiled princess, Michael sets out on a desperate quest to save them. But can the friends defeat the evil Lord of the Universe and his servants? Will they escape the greedy clutches of the venomous Spider Woman, the tearing talons of the vast Roc, the ripping beak of the icy Murder Bird? Michael is aided and opposed by fantastic mythical creatures, but he alone must accomplish the tasks set by the Empress of the West, or lose his parents forever. Michael and the Monkey King is an exciting fantasy adventure from the author of the Amazon recommended Arthurian novel Sword and Sorcery (published by Hodder Children's Books).
