Monkey Due is based on a set of monkeys that learn how to act like humans and started imitating behaviors, and the history of humans. The story takes place at a time when the monkeys are teenagers in high school. Mostly teenage pranks, getting into trouble and messing with other like family siblings. These guys were an experiment in an animal research laboratory that got canceled by the government in the year 1989. During the years the scientist had started a little secret community, and the monkeys had developed a family system among themselves. One particular family was special to the scientist, so they called them Monkey Du. They were called Monkey Du because they kept trying to imitate the humans on TV more than the rest. They were also the first group to do everything up right on two feet and even spoke like humans. Then the rest of monkeys started following them. There after they were like little hairy humans (talking, walking, dressing, and acting the same), but with different personalities. The book is to teach kids lessons that other people have learned along the way, to inspire them, to show them how to love, and perhaps to remind ourselves as an adult what it is like when they were a kid.
