Philip Skyler, the main character in the novel, seems to be inferior when compared to his handsome and popular twin brother, Michael, in the eyes of his family, teachers and schoolmates. His rare genetic mutation, explained by his nickname, has caused his unfortunate appearance.  Even though he seems to be a misfit in the family and community, it turns out that he is the only one who remains true to himself and to others. The book touches on such topics as bullying, family dysfunction, fundamental religious practices and friendship against all odds. Monkeyface's journey, from a bullied and disfigured grade eight student to the motorcycling accident that changes his life, is propelled by his strong character, his athletic ability despite his appearance and by his family dynamic in which nothing is what it seems at the beginning. Philip ends his quest unscathed by the many causes and effects his life puts him through. The Monkeyface Chronicles is a profound novel and an amazing page turner about human values, in which every reader finds a bit of Monkeyface in him/herself.
