Monkey Business

Life with a hundred monkeys and two rival inventors can be tiring, so Petticoat Katie heads to Italy for a short holiday with the dashing Scipio Jones. Chaos, of course, fills in the gaps. When she returns, half her monkeys have a bun in the oven and Sledgehammer Girl's taken up acoustics. Next thing she knows, Katie's faced with eviction and the prospect of printing Mr Stirrup's salacious memoirs, the hottest property since the nefarious under-the-counter Chilli Chocolate at Fitzgerald's Fine Sweetmeats. And it looks like tacky souvenirs aren't the only thing Katie brought back from holiday... The third uproarious novel in the Petticoat Katie & Sledgehammer Girl series of silly steampunk adventures, featuring yet more crazy inventions, off-the-wall characters and impossible situations.
