When a family of bonobo apes who know American Sign Language are kidnapped from a language lab, their mysterious appearance on a reality TV show propels scientist Isabel Duncan, together with reporter John Thigpen, on a personal mission to rescue them. An entertaining book that calls into question our assumptions about these animals who share 99.4% of our DNA.

I loved her last book, Water for Elephants. Several reviews give this latest a bit more critique. However, the topic is intriguing. I read Our Inner Ape a few years back, fascinating!
Glad you got this one here.
