157N: Children’s Adventure Book (solved)

I am looking for a hard cover children’s book with 2 children, a brother and sister (name might be ginger) who start out on a plane and end up in a jungle with a monkey named Monkey Monk and a tiger named Tiger Rag. They have lots of adventures and go through a Purple City and many other exciting places with a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. 3rd-6th grade?

    This sound like ‘The Fairly Scary Adventure Book’ by William Attwood.

    “So artlessly does Mr. Attwood identify this serial as a home-spun alternative to TV that it seems caddish to remark that that’s what it sounds like. Eventuating from a palpable impossibility (that’s really scary.)–opening a plane’s exit hatch in lieu of the lavatory door–is a pastiche of perils and rescues as Jubilee and Johnny Jones make their way with toothless Tiger Rag and displaced South American Monkey-Monk across wildest Africa. Among the constantly materializing menaces are the Purple People (who can’t see anything but), an Abominable Snowman, pygmies and pirates–to say nothing of assorted hyenas, crocodiles and sharks and their most persistent tormentor Hagmar the superwitch. Appropriately enough, it’s all a bad dream.”

    I’ve been trying to remember the name of this book for AGES!!! My second grade teacher read it to us and I loved it but haven’t ever been able to find it or remember anything other than the main character’s name, Jubilee Jones, and nothing ever turned up with that. THANK YOU!!!!
