This whimsical tale revolves around a mischievous monkey named Tricky, who seems to possess an uncanny ability to evade death and bring chaos wherever he goes. The book combines elements of adventure and humor, making it an entertaining read for young audiences. The story follows the antics of Tricky, who is adopted by a missionary after being rescued from a rough life. Despite his initial trouble-making ways, such as causing havoc in the household and on a ship, Tricky survives various attempts at his life, including hanging, drowning, and being shot at. Each time, he narrowly escapes, much to the frustration of his would-be executioners. Ultimately, the story weaves in themes of friendship and loyalty, as Tricky breaks into a shepherd’s life, leading to unexpected adventures, including rescuing the family from a house fire. The narrative humorously concludes with Tricky living happily as a lighthouse keeper's pet, proving that he truly won't kill and will protect those around him.
