“A glittering shapeshifter of a novel that takes you where the modern city and post-modern magic meet.“ -- Terry Bisson

"I can't help being obsessed with the beautifully complex world of shapeshifters and magic that Jadie Jang has created. Monkey Around thrilled me and kept me turning pages, but also left me convinced that if I just looked carefully enough, I would see ancient secrets lurking around every corner in the city. Most books are lucky to have either a fascinating world or unforgettable characters, but Monkey Around has both, in spades.” -- Charlie Jane Anders

"Action-packed and inventive, Monkey Around is the magical realist detective story we've all been waiting for. Jadie Jang tells a powerful story of immigrant communities living in the space between supernatural and political worlds--and it's a hell of a lot of fun, too.” -- Annalee Newitz

"Maya McQueen—activist, sleuth, shape-shifter—investigates a spate of murders and disappearances in a San Francisco lushly populated by supernatural creatures. Jadie Jang delivers a spellbinding and action-packed thriller in this brilliant twist on the legend of the Monkey King." -- Lauren McLaughlin
