Yes, I Know the Monkey Man

Yes, I Know the Monkey Man

Dori Hillestad Butler
4/5 ( ratings)
What happens when everything you thought was true about your life turns out to be a lie?
Thirteen-year-old T. J. always believed that her twin sister and her mother were dead--because that's what her father had told her. But Mom and Sam are very much alive. And now they want T. J. to be part of their family.
When T. J. reluctantly visits her mom and Sam for the first time, she is stunned by how similar she is to her twin sister, even though their lives have been very different. But while she is drawn to her new family, she is also wary of becoming attached to them and hurting her father's feelings. Then when her father suffers a debilitating accident and tries to ensnare T. J. in another web of lies, her loyalties are finally tested.
In this thought-provoking companion to Do You Know the Monkey Man?, Dori Hillestad Butler creates a complex portrait of a family in crisis. Her skillful portrayal of T. J., a conflicted adolescent struggling with her identity, will resonate with readers.
