Maggie’s active imagination is annoying — until she needs a big brother to back her up — in a hugely funny, spot-on tale every sibling is sure to relate to.

A family of monkeys has moved into the refrigerator! At least, that’s what Maggie says. Of course, no one else can see them, but that doesn’t stop Mom and Dad from playing along, even going out of their way to accommodate the invisible visitors. An extra bowl of pudding at the table? A DO NOT DISTURB sign on the fridge? What’s a rustrated, reality obsessed brother to do? Readers will hoot with laughter at this warm, witty, wildly imaginative story of sibling love and loyalty.
Linda Sanders-Wells, a freelance writer, says of her first book, “To me Maggie's Monkeys is about two very powerful forces: love and imagination. Magical things happen when those two are at play in our lives.” She lives in Cincinnati.

Abby Carter has illustrated many books for children, including the Andy Shane series by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and Full House: An Invitation to Fractions by Dayle Ann Dodds She lives in Hadlyme, Connecticut.
