Twins Billy and Jillian are raised to be good crooks, but instead want to be good people. They have to sneak around to do this, and that is part of the fun of this book. When they go to a zoo to help clean it up, their parents follow them there and think that the twins are there to steal a monkey, since they believe, as we all know, monkey see, monkey do. Cue the fun hijinks as our heroes try to figure out what to do about this.

I thought this was a really fun book that will appeal to elementary school students and will keep them interested in the story. I think they will like the illustrations as much as the story.

5/5 stars.

I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.

This...was an interesting book. Catchy premise, although a little odd. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about criminal parents intent on leading their children into a life of crime.

It's far-fetched and I didn't find it very humorous but I could see how younger readers would laugh at the monkey and the mishaps that follow his abduction.

I am relieved that Billy and Jillian do not want a life of crime and seek to thwart their parents attempts at robbery.

I recieved an eARC from the publisher via Netgalley. This is my honest review.
