November - 2009 The Reading Stack (Guest Review)
Much is the same in this fourth book, yet nothing is repeated. We are called to look beyond what the eyes can see, but the dimension we enter is more abstract.

November 2009 - Book of the Month, Bankstown Library
Monkey Fist can stand alone as a good book to read
for those who are new to the series, but will be really enjoyed by those who have had the
chance to read the earlier stories. All of the Samurai Kids must examine their own
strengths and weaknesses if they are to set Kyoko free.
This is a wonderful read for kids aged 8 - 12 and older

September 2009 - Aussie Reviews
Monkey Fist is the fourth title in the wonderful Samurai Kids series. As with the other books, readers are offered an exciting mix of action, humour, obstacles and tension. Niya, the viewpoint character, is a likeable narrator, with the reader able to see his flaws as well as his strengths, and like him all the more for them.

There were so many things to engage the reader in Monkey Fist; the action, the endearing characters, the tension, and the visual descriptions of places and events. Sandy is meticulous in her attention to detail and Monkey Fist is another thoroughly researched book that takes the reader into an amazing world.
