Description
Lionboy by Zizou Corder is the exhilarating first instalment in the Lionboy Trilogy, a middle-grade fantasy adventure filled with suspense, charm, and unforgettable animal characters. When ten-year-old Charlie Ashanti’s scientist parents are kidnapped under mysterious circumstances, he sets out on a brave and dangerous quest to rescue them. Charlie may not know who took them or why — but he does have one extraordinary talent: the ability to speak Cat.
As he travels from London through Europe, Charlie calls upon the help of clever stray cats, aristocratic house pets, and magnificent lions trapped in a travelling circus. Along the way, he faces greedy villains, secret plots, and thrilling escapes, all while learning more about his parents’ secret work and a powerful corporation desperate to silence them. Brimming with heart, humour, and imaginative world-building, Lionboy is a fast-paced, page-turning adventure perfect for young readers who love animal stories and bold, clever heroes.
Ideal for fans of magical animal tales and thrilling quests, Lionboy has earned praise for its original concept and spirited storytelling. It’s an ideal pick for readers who enjoyed Harry Potter and His Dark Materials, offering a fresh, feline-twisted adventure.
