A novella by Anil Kurukulasooriya
This story began as a personal nightmare but has been reframed into a victory. If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
When a boy wakes up in the body of a baby monkey deep in the rainforest, he’s thrust into a life of survival and instinct. Haunted by memories of his human past—especially Ashely, the girl he loved—he struggles to adapt to his new identity as Branko, caught between the world he remembers and the one he now inhabits.
As flashbacks blur with reality, Branko searches for answers. Is there a way back to his former life, or must he embrace his new form to find peace?
Blending suspense, humor, and spirituality, The Boy in the Monkey is a powerful story of identity, transformation, and self-discovery.
