Book Suggestion from Mr. Lucas

I recently checked with Mr. Lucas about a book he would recommend for VSS students.  He is recommending Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls.  This is a fantastic story, and a great read for the summer!  The story takes place in the late 1800's and involves a boy whose summer includes adventures trying to catch monkeys who have escaped from the circus.  This leads to many wild and some very funny adventures for the boy.
