When her mother falls ill, Tashi goes alone to the plantation, hoping to earn money for the doctor. But she is far too small to harvest the tender shoots, and her clumsy efforts anger the cruel Overseer. She is desolate, until -- chack-chack-chack! -- something extraordinary happens. Inspired by a centuries-old legend of tea-picking monkeys, here is a richly told tale full of vivid characters: the heartless Overseer, the enigmatic Royal Tea Taster, and -- far away -- an empress with a penchant for tea.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHusband and wife team \u003cb\u003eMal Peet (1947-2015)\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eElspeth Graham\u003c\/b\u003e wrote four books together: \u003ci\u003eCloud Tea Monkeys, Mysterious Traveler, Night Sky Dragons \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Treasure of Pirate Frank. \u003c\/i\u003eMal Peet also authored several YA novels, including the Carnegie Medal-winning novel \u003ci\u003eTamar, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe-Horn Book\u003c\/i\u003e Honor Book\u003ci\u003eLife: An Exploded Diagram\u003c\/i\u003e and three Paul Faustino novels: \u003ci\u003eKeeper, The Penalty, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExposure.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Wijngaard\u003c\/b\u003e has illustrated more than thirty books for children, including \u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Globe: An Interactive Pop-up Theatre \u003c\/i\u003eand the Kate Greenaway Medal-winning \u003ci\u003eSir Gawain and the Loathly Lady.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in New Mexico.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9.3 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 23, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e IndieFab awards (2010)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louisiana Young Readers' Choice Award (2013)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cloud Tea Monkeys\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower Grades, K-3\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47312532111609,"sku":"9780763644536","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/PAZ7hNn7pl9780763644536.webp?v=1769393217","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cloud-tea-monkeys-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
