Book Reviews of Lionboy (Lionboy Trilogy)
Book Review: give it a roar of approval
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason why I've given this 4 stars not 5 is that both my children and I felt hugely frustrated by the ending. It's a rip-roaring yarn set in the future, with Charlie Ashanti's scientist parents kidnapped from their London home. A year before this happens his mother has written something in her own blood and hidden it; naturally, it turns out to be what the kidnappers want. Charlie sets out to save them, and his quest is aided by his being able to speak not just Cat but Big Cat. Lucky for him he finds refuge in a circus with six proud, drugged lions.If you've ever longed to speak to animals, or run away and join the circus, Lionboy is the book for you. It's fast and fun, with an undercurrent of seriousness that should appeal to a wide age-range. No doubt it'll be hyped to death, but kids will only care about the story. (The cover and maps are great, though.)My son thought there ought to be more fighting, and we're all on tenterhooks for the sequel.
