Genre: Science Fiction
This book is
about a character named Monkess who was a homunculus. A homunculus is like a
human except for the regular organs they possess. A homunculus is made of
soils, sawdust, bits of earths, and even stones. These individuals were not
made from their parents belly’s like normal kids, but Monkess was made on a
science island in the middle of the ocean. Monkess lived on the island alone
and enjoyed her life playing with the animals every day. She met a friend who
was named Puffin, which was a bird like animal that resembled a penguin. They
realized that they had a lot in common ended up becoming best friends.
One day when they were riding kites they notice a bump in the ocean traveling
from the storm engine, which was what made wind, rain, and air. They noticed
the bump coming closer t the island and flew done to meet the bump at the
shore. The bump was a giant wave of water they washed over the land. Both
Monkess and Puffin both enjoyed their time in the water and spending this
special moments with each other. The bump of water soon returned back to the
regular ocean and Monkess and Puffin both stood their together wavy the bump
back to where it came from and thanking it for the experience it gave to them
to spend quality time together.
I would read this book to the
second grade level classroom. It really touches on the importance on sharing
quality time and living in the moment with friends and family, which is one of the most important qualities to value.
