    About this ebook

    On Christmas Eve, Stacey Franklin's toy monkey comes to life and tells her he is enchanted and only the love of a child can save him. The monkey then takes her on a journey to Monkia, where Stacey learns that the monkey had been a bad king and a wizard turned him into a toy to learn love. But now Stacey must climb Mount You Can't Climb Me to get the Ring of Love and break the curse.

His family later moved to the Oklahoma City area, where he attended high school and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in Norman. He has variously been an actor, folk-singer, rat runner, and chimp researcher. He was later an award-winning journalist and newspaper editor before pursuing a doctorate in history at the University of Oklahoma. He is also author of five books, including the recently released fantasy novel Ukishima, from Hydra Publications and a forthcoming science fiction novel The Gonayme Weapon, from Montag Press. He lives with his wife Nancy in Newport News, Virginia, where he is associate professor of history at Christopher Newport University.

      In memory of the real Stacey Nicole Franklin, my niece, who died too soon and too young.

      She always loved Christmas.

      Chapter One

      When she was just a baby, Stacey was given a toy monkey. No one remembered who gave her the monkey, but everyone knew Stacey loved that monkey because he was special. But they didn't know just how special he was.

      As toy monkeys go, he was not the best-looking toy monkey. He was a dark brown monkey with a light brown face and big blue eyes.
