Book Review of 'The Monkey Who Fell From The Future' by Ross Welford

The year is 2425 and is centuries after an asteroid collision struck the Earth. Meanwhile, In the present day, Thomas Reeve and his prodigy cousin Kylie Woollagong create the time tablet. Suddenly, it malfunctions when they are advertising it on television. A girl from the named Ocean Mooney falls into the present with her monkey when the timelines of the future and the present collide and Kylie and Thomas fall into the future. They do not find the future to be like they expected it to be. They have only 24 hours to get back and save the future of humanity as they are the only ones from the present who have learnt the horrible catastrophe that will fall upon Earth in the future..

I loved the book and I thought this was actually a very unique aspect to look at the future. Everyone thinks that the future will be modern but this novel explored the possibility of the future being the opposite of what everyone thinks it will be. It was also emotional as travelling through time made the bond between the cousins deepen from hating each other to being best friends for life. I also thought the part where they found out who Thomas was going to be married to in the future very funny as imagine you know who you are going to marry even before you have met them. I found the way the timelines collided fascinating as the theory of time travelling through this way was very cool because usually it is through some cool metal box or some random portal opening but this was in a way that you have designed a tablet to time travel and when someone in the future finds it and activates it , the present and the future collide. 

I do hope that someday this fictional invention becomes real and I get to try it out.
