Trying to make some fast cash, two small-time crooks devise a plan to kidnap the son of a wealthy family in a village and hold him for ransom. When the kidnapped boy pulls out his Hong Hou (“Red Monkey”) costume, the two burglars realize they may be in for more than they planned. As their ransom notes remain unanswered and their scheme starts to drag on, the two crooks find out for themselves how a child's imagination can spell disaster for two inexperienced criminal minds.

This book is a retelling of "The Ransom of Red Chief", a short story by American novelist O. Henry.

I listened to this for listening comprehension. The performance was average, with some problems with pacing. I often lost track of which character was speaking.

Good beginner listening
