About this ebook

Monkey and his friends, Zu and Sandy, lived in the Emperor's Cloud Palace. But they played all sorts of tricks on people, so, as a punishment, the Jade Emperor sent them down to Earth. They can only return if they prove that they can use their magical powers for good. Adventure is never far away!

In Fear Mountain, beastly cries, giant footprints and mysterious events at a funfair are causing trouble every night. Can the friends find out what is going on, and save the day?

About the author

Inspired by his own family and from his time as a teacher, Paul likes to write stories that grab young readers and gets them turning pages! He is lucky enough to have lived all over the world, and some of those places, and the people he's met along the way, pop up in his books from time to time.

Paul has over 100 published titles to date, across a range of genres. He is the author of the children's novels The Twins, the Ghost and the Castle, The Twins and the Wild Ghost Chase, Factor Four: the Awakening, and Factor Four: Tiger, Tiger.

Robin Boyden is an illustrator, writer and designer, based in Bristol, UK – but it if wasn't for the pirate risk factor, he'd quite like do his work from a hammock in the Caribbean in the 18th Century.
Along with working on Skate Monkey, his other projects include creating new artwork for The Demon Headmaster series and designing cardboard cut outs for Kew Gardens. Robin enjoys history podcasts, comedy films and using dogs as inspiration for his human characters
