Do You Know the Monkey Man by Dori Hillestad Butler

“Do you know the monkey man, the monkey man, the monkey man? Do you know the monkey man, who lives on Hartman Lane?”

How far would you go in order to uncover a mystery, something about your past that didn’t feel quite right? What if that mystery was finding your dad, whom you haven’t seen in almost a decade? Would you consult a psychic, pay for a private investigator, or dig through old boxes in the basement? Would you call people all around the country with his name in hopes of hearing his voice? The voice you would know anywhere? Would you sneak away from home to check out an address after calling leads you nowhere? Would you go or would you just decide the search was pointless?
What if I told you there was another piece to this mystery, a piece that seemed at first insignificant, but could be the answer to everything? What if I told you that the psychic says your twin sister, who died tragically at the age of three, is alive and well? What would you do?
