The author of Water for Elephants brings another great animal tale. Isabel Duncan is both scientist and den mother to six bonobos, outgoing, intelligent, and mischievous great apes who use American Sign Language and graphic symbols to communicate. Without warning, an explosion shatters their orderly existence. Isabel spends weeks in the hospital and then learns that her six much loved bonobos have been stolen. With the help of lab intern Celia and two computer hacker friends, a sympathetic tabloid reporter, and an unforgettable Russian prostitute, Isabel works to track down the apes when they are cast on a reality television show that calls into question scientific assumptions about common DNA that is shared by apes and people.
