Produktbeschreibung
This is a story written by a tween, for tweens, and primarily about four tweens-Penelope (the narrator), Nydia (Ny), Lilly, and Emily (Em)-all accompanied by Max, a pet monkey, in their adventures . . . and misadventures. When Aunt Vanessa, a famous movie actress, invites Penelope's family to New York for her upcoming wedding, they immediately make plans for the trip. However, an accident changes everything, resulting in Penelope's father, mother, and brother not being able to go. In their place, Penelope's three friends are invited. The four girls will have adventures galore, all involving, interestingly enough, Max, the monkey, who sets into motion many mischievous pranks of his own along the way. In addition, there are several mysterious episodes involving theft, bullying, misunderstandings, and romantic intrigues. Working through these experiences teaches the girls the importance of true friendship and reveals their strong character traits of loyalty, integrity, and kindness. It is a sweet story told by a ten-year-old tween living her own life in the real world, while at the same time, yearning to experience for herself what it would be like to live it in the unreal world of fiction-on paper. This is a true novella, with its beginning, middle, and end, in which the author proves that "all's well that ends well."

Autorenporträt
My name is Rebeca Gomes Tabb. I was born in Brazil, but when I was almost six years old, I came with my mother to the state of Louisiana in the United States to begin a new life.

Because Portuguese is my first language, the most important thing for me to do first was to learn English. My American grandmother told me that a very good way to do this was to read as many books as possible, and to watch age-appropriate TV programs. This I began to do. I wore my family out taking me to the library to borrow books and to bookstores to buy them.

I soon discovered that one thing I loved to read was mystery stories, like the Harry Potter books or the Nancy Drew Series, and fantasy books like The Chronicles of Narnia, especially "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

I am an only child, so a book has often been my companion. When I began writing Monkey Business, I found it was so much fun to create characters by controlling what they said and did. I have so many stories in my head, and I plan to keep on writing them!

My parents love me so much and have encouraged me in writing and playing soccer. I love them more than anything . . . and so I want to dedicate this, my first book, to my American Dad - James Tabb - and to my Mom - Milena Gomes Tabb.
