Welcome to the Isla de Monstera, home of the world's only tap-dancing, banana-loving, rust-fighting, coconut-talking, crime-busting organisation... MONKEY NUTS!
In their very first adventure, Sid, Rivet and Chief Tuft are forced to do battle against a horde of random oddballs and weirdos. When a mysterious signal begins to drive the local loonies into a crazy rage, the Monkey Nuts team have no choice but to grab their masks and get heroic!

Facts about Robin: he's an obsessive snowboarder, insomniac and toast fanatic...seriously...he can go through a whole loaf in five minutes!
Facts about Lawrence: he's an obsessive hotrod fan, insomniac, and choc-o-holic...the boy can sniff out a Mars bar from 100 metres!
This is one of the craziest and funniest graphic novels I have ever read! You will not stop laughing in this adventure and you will definitely marvel at the illustrations. The Etherington Brothers are extremely talented and each page is a pleasure to discover...The story is very fast-paced and is perfect for younger readers since the book is divided in little chapters/adventures for each new villain.
There is only one problem: it stops way too soon and you will be left craving for some more!

Perfect presents for every kid in your life, and the big kid in you.
- Paul Gravett
It's a deliberately rambling, manic burst of comic energy across it's busy and brightly coloured pages. Lots and lots of fun, lots of silly gags...a manic, full on adventure serial, heavy on the laughs and with some very nice, suitably kinetic artwork.

Totally crazy, fun, frantic and exciting...Young readers will love Monkey Nuts as it has everything they could ask for in a comic book. It is action packed, with great characters, and amazing illustrations. It is also very, very funny.
- Book Zone for Boys
Oddball enemies, countless mentions of bums or butts and the ceaseless banter between Sid and Rivet will keep any kid amused and entertained. But as endlessly inventive as the story is, the artwork is the immediate attention grabber. Rich in detail and colour, you'll want to go back again and again over every page to see what you missed the first and second time around. There's plenty here for adults who want to unleash their inner ten-year-old: it's pacy, it's funny and it deserves a place on your shelves.
