Just finished this thrilling adventure by @piudg.bsky.social ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for its gutsy girl characters, unlikely team-ups, gasp-inducing twists, and a world so rich you will smell the jungle and taste the chapatis! 10-year-old me would have been *obsessed* and 50-year-old me is, too! MOAR, PLEASE! 💎🐒🐍🐈‍⬛

I'm holding a library copy of Piu Dasgupta's Golden Monkey Mystery. It had a bold orange monkey holding the Snakestone and all the main characters and plot points drawn inside the monkey--banfits, 3 children, Aacat, a panther, an evil bounty hunter, skeletons, flowers

The Golden Monkey Mystery by @piudg.bsky.social (40 pages in and it's already beaten the high expectations I had from her AMAZING Secrets of the Snakestone) and The Dad Trap by @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social 🤗 it's going to be a fun week, reading-wise!

I’m wondering if any children’s publishers need a freelance writer to write reading scheme books for them or branded picture books etc? I’ve written reading scheme books for Star Wars and Disney before! Any shares would be amazing! #BookSky #KidLit

Been mostly reading adult books but now it's time to return to the kidlit TBR... #KidLitUK First stop will be The Golden Monkey Mystery by @piudg.bsky.social 🐒 Cover illo by Helen Crawford-White. I've been looking forward to this one as I loved Secrets of the Snakestone. @nosycrow.bsky.social

My hand holding up a book. The background of the cover is black and on it is a stylised orange monkey holding a greenish blueish jewel. The white, hand-lettered title, curving around the monkey and its tail, reads The Golden Monkey Mystery. The author's name, Piu Dasgupta, is written on the monkey's arm in black. The background behind the book is my rainforest wallpaper which, accidentally, fits the theme of the book as it's set partly in a jungle in Bengal.
