Bet you didn’t know that the Monkey King actually had a daughter. It may not have been documented in the original book, but that doesn’t prevent modern day authors from appending to the story.

Todd A. DeBonis of Natick, is the author of the young adult book “The Monkey King’s Daughter” and has been making his rounds to further promote this series about 14 year old high-schooler Meilin who is half monkey & half human studying in Midland Hills, California. The usual plot ensues- flakey girlfriends, zits, too much homework, bad hair, obnoxious boys… but all of that changes when her ancient past catches up with her.
