Chee Chee and his brothers love hanging out in their abandoned
garden paradise filled with all of the fruits that monkeys love. So
when a human family moves into the house and starts picking the

trees. Can Chee Chee and his brothers come up with a plan to
convince the humans to stop eating the fruit in their garden? Chee
Chee Fights Back is the fourth in a series of five stories about
the adventures of a monkey and his growing friendship with a boy.
This series, Chee Chee's Adventures, written by Carol

As they grow, they can move up to the Caribbean Adventure Series
which is aimed at children 8-12 years old and continues the
adventures of Chee Chee and Mark.
The end of the school year should be a fun time, but for
11-year-old Gappy, it is absolutely horrible. First, he must fight
for his life against a crazed janitor, and then his classmates and
teachers turn mean. Gappy hopes things will be better at vampire
summer camp, but dark forces are at work, and an Old Order vampire
is after him again. A strange feeling soon forces Gappy to make a
difficult decision. Something is calling him to Salem,
Massachusetts, site of the terrifying witch trials of 1692. Should
he remain at Camp Widdershins where he is safe, or should he leave
to face an unknown danger? Gappy and his best friend Pru follow a
series of clues and make a shocking discovery. Suddenly, they find
themselves in a race against time. Will they succeed, or are they
already too late?
Gappy is excited to travel with his best friend Pru to visit his
cousins in the United Kingdom. His mother warns him to stay away
from dangerous adventures, but after meeting two suspicious
strangers in the sleepy Welsh village of Abergath, Gappy finds it
difficult to obey. What are the two men up to, and what is the
secret of the abandoned Penffordd Slate Mine? When Gappy and
friends explore its underground tunnels, they uncover a shocking
vampire plot before being captured and imprisoned in a rocky cell.
Their only hope of escape is if Gappy can summon up a new vampire
skill to rescue them all and lead everyone to safety.
Gappy invites three friends to keep him company at a bed and
breakfast while his parents are attending a vampire conference. The
excitement soon begins with the discovery of a secret passage under
the house. With the help of some new vampire powers, he explores
further, but a midnight adventure quickly turns dangerous when he
is trapped underground.
Summer at Camp Widdershins promises to be lots of fun. Ten-year-old
Gappy meets his cousins for the first time and is thrilled to make
friends with kids who are vampires like himself. Together they
learn some exciting magical skills, much to the envy of their human
relatives. But Gappy's summer soon turns scary and mysterious when
two men capture him in the middle of the night. Why would anyone
want to kidnap Gappy, and will his brand new vampire powers be
strong enough to help him escape?

must be really careful never to reveal his vampire secret to
regular humans. He is already in trouble with the Vampire Council

disappear while he is at school. If anyone notices, it could be
very embarrassing . . . perhaps even a disaster for vampires

powers, Gappy soon finds himself in another situation where he is
tempted to use one for a good cause. His decision lands him in more
trouble, and now the school bully is upset with him too. How will
Gappy get out of this mess?
Nine-year-old Gappy's life turns upside down the day he faints in
art class. A visit to the hospital is bad enough, but then comes
the big shock. His parents tell him he is turning into a vampire At
