Lionboy

(3) 4-6 Although set in the future, this book has an old-fashioned tone, which provides a stable underpinning for the wild plot. Charlie, a boy who can speak Cat, sets off to track down his kidnapped parents. Along the way, he joins a floating circus and agrees to help the lions escape. An intriguing beginning written by an adult and child team, this is the first novel in a planned trilogy.
