If you have not read or know anything about the legends of the Chocolate Hills in the Philippines and its tarsiers (species of small leaping primates found only on some of Southeast Asia islands, including the Philippines), then before you read even one more sentence in the book, you should know that the young Danilo, a son of a poor fisher, went along his friend Carlo on what they thought a fun trip to the Chocolate Hills in pursuit of free chocolates.

This supposedly one-day fun trip to the hills through the beautiful sea and farmland sides of the Island of Bohol, quickly turned into a few months terrible tragedy that devastated them, their families, and friends.

This storybook will take you through unusual situations, adventures, unexpected incidents, funny incidents, affinity relationships, and unexpected encounters.

This story recorded these unusual adventures. You, however, should decide whether you can possibly endure this mystical story.

    This is a cool, creative fiction book. It made me think and think. It also made me imagine the unimaginable. I like the book very much and look forward to reading more fiction or other types of stories from the author. I love the theme and the images.

    Just finished reading the book that I started last Monday and found it exciting. The first two chapter were pretty much cultural and background before the start of the adventures and the excitement. I love the main character-Danilo and his buddy Carlo. The story is interesting to me and to my friends.

  • Amanda Davis

    I just read the novel and I loved every part of it. It is amazing, to say the least. FYI. My mom is currently reading it too and seems to enjoy it.

  • Lina Aboursi

    I got this book from my friend on my birthday and just finished reading it. I must say, it is a fantastic novel. Very interesting, educational, funny, adventurous, cultural, and exciting.I told bunch of my classmates about it and encouraged them to read it. My BIG question is whether we will be able to know what happened to Carlo? Is there a second book in the market? I tried asking Barnes & Noble, they don't know. Hope to find out.

  • Edna Malik

    A nice, touchy story. I felt very sympathetic to the families of Danilo and his friends. Great lessons to be learned. I enjoyed reading it immensely. As someone has asked, is there a second book to know if Carlo is still a tarsier or what happened to him? . Overall, a thumb up.

  • Alex Beal

    Good story. I found it educational and full of adventures and faith. It made me think about travel. Love it!
