If you came here thinking that you'll find an awesome book about a hero that is going help save the world and get the girl while going through epic adventures then I'm sorry but only about 1/4 of what I just said is true, but don't lose hope yet I can still promise u something that will be guaranteed to blow ur minds.
You see it all started on a summers day in the middle of January, I was, like always helping my dad at the family pub serving customers and trying not to trip over my words- or myself- when they appeared it was like time had stopped the once noise ridden pub was dead silent, the noise of their pristine black shoes bounced of the walls seemingly amplifying the noise.
The first thing that my 10 year old mind thought was weird was the fact that even in though they had walked through obviously dirt and mud filled streets the didn't seem to have a speck of dirt on them, then when they had finally fully entered the pub, they stared to speak and that's when my mind came to a crashing halt.
"Has anyone seen a man named zack Wilkerson"
My mind coming back from it's absolute shut down started to go a hundred miles a minute, the man that they mentioned, the man that they wanted was my dad!, what the heck do they want with my dad, better yet what did he do in the first place, these men had high tech looking sci-fi-ish looking guns that you'd only see in comic books, why the heck do they need someone like my dad.
"Well ask you one more time before why start forcing it out of you has anyone seen a man that goes by the name of zack Wilkerson" the man in the middle who was obviously the leader said pulling back the trigger of his gun looking ready to to shoot.
My feet, acting by them selves before my brain caught up to what the plan I had made was, so once getting the plan in my head I took a few more strides, getting closer and closer to where the big scary government looking type was standing I said "I-" I was cut of when a skinny and hairy looking hand was put over mouth to stop me from saying anything "ok kid I know you wanna help your pops but you gotta trust me on this one, you have no idea what your getting yourself into so just stay quite and follow me" a voice said in which I presumed the voice belonged to the hand that was now moving down from covering my mouth to grabbing my hand pulling me sneakily along with him.
The pub part of the pub I was in was to dim to see who had saved me but when we had reached a considerable amount of distance I slowly turned around to see exactly what had saved him from what looked like his own early grave and in doing so almost made him topple over in laughter, what stood there wasn't much taller than him, but that wasn't what made it hilarious, with hair only on the palm of his hands and the bottom of his feet as well as sporting a fury looking tail the creature had a red and gold vest with a fez in the same colours.
Completely unable to control what I was saying I shouted "a monkey in a top hat!!!!" And collapsed in complete laughter, the heavy atmosphere completely forgotten and frown to the wind as the monkey shouted back "I.Am.Not.A. Monkey!!!!!!.
