What do you do when you come home one day and discover that your parents have been kidnapped? Well, if you're a brave young guy named Charlie Ashanti, you go off in search of them. And since you happen to know how to speak Cat, your feline friends (the stray cats of the city and the caged lions on a magnificent, astounding floating circus) rally around you, bringing help, advice, and occasional special deliveries. Little do you know that in this search of yours, the fate of the world is at stake.

Sink your claws into this spellbinding tale of Lionboy. Meet a cast of characters you'll never quite forget: the good, the rotten, the ambiguous, and the delightfully weird. Follow Charlie through amazing places you just may have dreamed about as he braves great dangers and experiences the remarkable. Join the adventure!

Critic reviews

"Lionboy, an ingenious fantasy-cum-ripping-yarn about young Charlie Ashanti's search for his kidnapped scientist parents, delivers a great dose of circus excitement, complete with glitter, exotica, and animal smells. And if it did only that, it would be well worth the read. But there's more: the potent, evergreen childhood fantasy of speaking animal language." (The New York Times Book Review)
