Kai and the Monkey King
When Kai grows tired of her bookish mum not being adventurous enough for a Brownstone, she decides to seek out the mischievous and rebellious Monkey King. Will he bring her the adventure she craves, or will he cause her more trouble than he's worth?
Read the latest story from the mythical Brownstone's family vault where we venture to China and learn about the story of the Monkey King, fight dangerous beasts, taste powerful peaches and see that maybe ... our heroes aren't always what they're cracked up to be.
