Monkey Trouble

THE COPS, THE CROOKS, AND HER PARENTS ARE ALL OUT TO TAKE EVA'S NEW BE5T FRIEND AWAY...BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO CATCH HER FIRST!

Nine-year-old Eva Boylan has a problem. Her parents have laid down the law: no pets! But suddenly the solution falls out of the sky—well, out of a tree, anyway—and right into Eva's arms. It's a runaway monkey she calls Dodger. The catch is, this particular monkey has a very special talent. Not only has he stolen Eva's heart, he's been trained to steal just about everything else.

Now con man Shorty Kohn, Dodger's partner in crime, wants him back—and he's hot on his tail. But a good pet is hard to find and even harder to keep. So Eva's made up her mind to keep Dodger a secret. After all, what her parents don't know can't hurt her. She's decided to reform her little thief and give Shorty the bungling burglar a real run for his monkey!
