For restless teens who love animals, Pip and her twin Pax have dream jobs as trainee Zookeepers. But when a Zoo accident confines Pip to a hospital room, she transforms her brother's reports about the animals she misses into a wild and hilarious adventure story. "The Great Brassmonkey Bay Jewel Robbery" is full of irresistible characters whose riotous antics delight their friends while they help Pip and Pax understand what freedom truly means.

This is a fun tale, full of imagination, nefarious villains, precocious critters and an out-of-control possum. "The Great Brassmonkey Jewel Robbery" is the first in a series about the Magic Island Gang, a cast of characters as unforgettable as the young twins who love and learn from them.
