Dog-like creatures cause teen and family drama.
Genetically engineered monkeydogs—who can speak and have hands—are designed to serve humans. The Wolfe family's "Rover" is unhappy in his subserviant role. Dad publicizes monkeydogs as his job. Mom finds the exploitation unconscionable. Golden boy teen son's skepticism leads him to discover sketchy corporate practices. Softhearted, animal lover, teen daughter finds herself drawn into Rover's clandestine activities. How will the Wolfe family, let alone society in general, handle the Monkeydog rebellion?
Congrats to Gabriell DeBear Paye on the release of her debut young adult sci-fi novel!
