In a thrilling adventure, characters from different times collide in The Monkey Who Fell From The Future, facing challenges that could alter humanity's fate.

In The Monkey Who Fell From The Future, readers are taken on a captivating journey to the year 2425, a time when nature has reclaimed the Earth following a catastrophic meteor collision. Here, we meet Ocean Mooney and his quirky companion, Duke Smiff, who stumble upon a remarkable artifact: a 400-year-old tablet computer. This discovery sets the stage for an adventure that intertwines the past and the future in unexpected ways.

Simultaneously, in the present day, Thomas Reeve and his cousin Kylie are busy inventing the Time Tablet, a device designed to bridge the gap between their world and the future. However, their ambitious project takes an unforeseen turn when it malfunctions during a live television demonstration, pulling them into the future. Suddenly, they find themselves in a world that is both strange and familiar, with only 24 hours to navigate their way back home.

As the story unfolds, The Monkey Who Fell From The Future explores themes of friendship, courage, and the impact of technology on humanity. With humor, heart, and a touch of adventure, Ross Welford crafts a narrative that resonates with readers aged 9 and up, encouraging them to reflect on the choices they make today and their consequences for tomorrow.
