Review

Sally Jones is an ape. She might not be able to talk, but she understands what people say and can communicate in her own way. Which is a good thing because when her good friend and captain of the ship they sail on is accused of murder, she is the only one that can prove he is innocent. This story is told from Sally's point of view. She has many adventures trying to set her friend free. The way Sally is portrayed is very believable, some of her adventures seem a bit far-fetched, but overall an interesting adventure.

Overall Book Score: good
