Lionboy

fullDescription

Charlie and his lion friends have made it safely to Venice, but it turns out that their journey has only just begun. King Boris's palace was meant to be a haven, but it's starting to feel more like a prison. When word arrives from the cat grapevine that his parents are not being held in Italy after all, Charlie knows he must take fast action. Luckily a new ally has come on the scene-and just in the knick of time: Rafi is in hot pursuit. This second book in the Lionboy trilogy is even more action-packed than the first, offering clever escapes, shipwreck, a prehistoric beast named Primo who will prove himself a great hero, and surprises that will shock and delight. It's an exhilarating, suspenseful whirlwind of a story, and listeners will be clamoring for more.

     Starred review from March 15, 2004
     British actor Jones's sonorous delivery instantly enchants listeners in this fine adaptation of Corder's (actually the pen name for a mother-daughter duo) debut novel about an unusually gifted boy and his family's connection to cats. Charlie knows that his scientist parents are working on important experiments all the time. But he had no idea that their latest project could put them all in such great danger. When Charlie comes home from school one day to find his parents have been kidnapped, he begins a heart-pounding adventure during which he must save his family by using his special power—the ability to communicate with cats. He soon leaves the streets of London and gains passage (and a lion "taming" job) with a floating circus, all the while picking up clues about his parents from felines in various ports. A daring escape from the circus, with lions in tow, eventually leads Charlie to some new and influential friends who vow to help him in his search for his parents. Simon compels listeners through the excitement with smooth pacing and a rhythm that sustains the perfect level of suspense. In his command, the numerous bad guys sound appropriately shady, and circus performers take on vibrant color. And readers are treated to lion dialogue as well. The story is planned to continue in two more Corder novels—and hopefully two more Simon narrations. Ages 8-up.

     A boy who can speak with felines traverses a Europe fraught with rampant, mysterious allergies to find his abducted parents, with the aid of a team of lions. According to PW
     , this novel "melds a rousing traveling circus adventure with shades of cautionary science fiction." Ages 8-up.

   • content: Zizou Corder is a mother/daughter writing team from England. This first collaboration in a proposed trilogy is set in the near future at a time when fossil fuel has nearly run out and respiratory diseases are epidemic. Charlie Ashanti comes home one day to find that his scientist parents have been kidnapped. Barely escaping the same fate, Charlie begins a search to find them. The adventure that follows includes bumbling villains, a floating circus, and, since it just so happens that Charlie can speak "cat," helping the circus lion break out and go on the lam. This engaging story is full of originality, snappy dialogue, and humor. Simon Jones couldn't be better; he displays a feather-light and well-timed comic delivery. It's clear he's enjoying himself as much as the listener does. D.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

   • content: This mother-daughter author pair, writing under their charming pseudonym, know how to create a fast-paced and adventure-packed novel. Thanks to the gift of "catspeak," Charlie has solved a kidnapping mystery and befriended lions. Separated yet again from his family, Charlie has to call upon all his creative powers and technical know-how to facilitate a reconciliation of multiple forces. Simon Jones's narration brings authority and precision to each twist as he maintains the fast pacing that such a story merits. His characterizations distinguish animal from man, friend from foe, and love from hate. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
