Lion Boy

This book is about this boy named Charlie. It I am inferencing takes place in the future, because cars have been banned, almost everyone has Asthma, and if they want to suggest that something took place a really long time ago they say something like. "I believe that it took place sometime near when the gasoline pipes still ran." He is sort of well, a rebel. His parents always encouraged him to be unique and reckless and always do whatever he knew was right even if it got him in over his head. I think that it is a good thing he was encouraged that way. It is important that people do what is right and do what they really have there heart set on doing because if they think that the opportunity will just roll around they will use so much time waiting that could be used to reach your goals. Anyways Charlie is special because when he was a baby his father was in the jungle collecting samples for his lab.(Both his parents are successful scientists) When he heard the distrust call of the Jaguar because her cub stepped on a snake and has snake bite. Then well, I won't tell you what happens but ever since then Charlie was able to speak the language of cat. One day his parents go missing and then Rafi Saddler. The cool kid in town delivers a letter from his mom. Charlie can plainly see that the letter is a sham. So to escape Rafi he stows away on a circus and becomes the lion boy. Befriending young lion and gaining trust of the others they scheme a plan to escape Maccomo ( the lion trainer) and save Charlie from Rafi. This book has a twist to it that makes it so enjoyable because of the way Zizou Corder ordered the words to draw her picture. I think that she chose the perfect time to end the book. Not because it has a satisfying ending, but because the ending is such a cliff hanger. I really enjoy books that have that kind of an ending with one exception. The next book has all ready been written. I hate to wait for a book to come out. If it says in the back of the book coming in 2008 the author seems to wait until the day before New Years. I think that we have the second one in our library. Anyways even though I didn't give a lot of details about the actual book I hope you read it. It's quality is to good to have the bookworms get to it.
