This week's pick is Monkey Town: the Summer of the Scopes Trial by Ronald Kidd (YA KIDD).
When the summer of 1925 kicks off, fifteen-year old Frances thinks the highlight will be playing tennis with newcomer John Scopes and getting him to be as interested in her as she is in him.

How does a simple scheme to create publicity for Dayton get so out of hand? Find out in Monkey Town.
