Danilo and the Chocolate Hills – Book 2

Dear Reader,

If you have not read anything about Danilo and the Chocolate Hills, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Danilo is a good boy, however his decision to skip school and go along with his good friend Carlo to the Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol sets off a dramatic saga when the Evil Giant of the Hills turned them both into tarsiers. “Tarsiers are small insectivorous, tree-dwelling, nocturnal primate with very large eyes, a long-tufted tail, and very long hind limbs.”

From the first book of this series, we have learned that almost two months later, a monkey was able to only save Danilo from the Evil Giant and move him away from the hills into her colony and was able to purify him through moonlight bathing at the seaside. When he got to be a boy again, he was able to go back to his family on the back of a dolphin’s friend named Paco.

Day after day, Carlos’s family and friends searched everywhere in and around the Hills, trying to locate Carlo. The sad news was Carlo was nowhere to be found. However, Danilo was determined to find and save his good friend Carlo from the Evil Giant of the Chocolate Hills.

This second storybook of the series Danilo and the Chocolate Hills will continue to take you through unusual situations, adventures, and unexpected incidents that young Danilo and his unexpected friends-a dolphin and a monkey will face on their unusual plea to save Carlo from the Evil Giant of the Chocolate Hills.

With all due respect,
