Zizou Corder is Louisa Young and Isabel Adomakoh Young whose names are too long to fit on the front of a bookLouisa is a grown up and has written five grown up books Isabel is a kid and has written mostly schoolworkThe original Zizou is Isabel s lizard only he spells it Zizu They Have written five books together the highly acclaimed Lionboy trilogy Lee Raven Boy Thief and HaloThey live inRead this one with my daughter Neither one of us were thrilled with the book We discussed it and found that we were both fairly bored On the bright side it did help her meet reading goals at school Paperback This book has been sitting on my shelf since middle school and honestly I wish I read it back then because I think I would have enjoyed it I mean it s great It has a POC as the main character and that s something I always love because we need diversity in books Plus he can talk to cats I m thinking that was the reason I picked this book up all those years ago That or the shiny coverI finished it pretty uickly so I mean it didn t take up a lot of my time but I just don t think I read this at the right time It was certainly aimed at a younger audience which is why I gave it to my younger cousin when I finished it The writing was very direct and spelled things out for the reader and personally I would rather try to figure things out for myself It was very imaginative especially when it came to the circus scenes but I m just not a fan of the circus so those scenes kind of bored me I don t like the man Charlie met towards the end who just seemed to accept everything Charlie threw at him and took Charlie under his wing I mean a child sneaks into your train car with six lions and you re like oh yeah that s cool I don t think soI would have liked to hear from the cats They clearly have some sort of gossip system going around because within hours it seemed every cat in the country knew about Charlie s parents Honestly the only reason I even picked up this book now was because I thought my cousin might want to read it and I wanted to read it before I gave it to her I should have read it when I bought it all those years ago and I regret not doing so It s a series trilogy I believe so nothing was really explained this time around and nothing was really solved in the end It ended like a chapter would end rather than a book I never connected with any of the characters so I don t care to continue the series Paperback Well I finished it I d really describe this as fantasy adventure Though if I m honest it doesn t really feature many of the ingredients I personally consider are reuired for the fantasy adventure recipe I write fantasy adventure The Last Dragon Slayer is currently Free on most Ebook Retailers to me the genre is about dragons dwarves elves dungeons and battles with a sprinkling of magic So what makes this fantasy adventure Well it s clearly set in some sort of post fossil fuel future The implications of this aren t really explored in complete depth The world is our world in the future but I get the feeling that some technology has moved forwards and some has moved backwards It s a very familiar setting with a few twists and uirks in to surprise youNow the focus of the plot is Charlie Ashanti Near the beginning of the book his parents are whisked away leaving him alone He has no idea of who has taken them or why This sets up the uest of finding out why they were taken and finding them A big clue to the circumstances comes when a suspicious local criminal appears to try and abduct Charlie A tactic Charlie often uses to resolve conflicts and to further his goals is to play the naive child and to feign compliance He s clever in how he uses this tactic but it isn t the strength that makes him specialCharlie s real specialty is talking to cats Now that might not seem like so much of a big deal I know many of my female bookie friends talk to cats ALL the time The difference in Charlie s case is that the cats talk back and Charlie is able to understand them The characterization of cats seems realistic in this book to me I m not really a cat person per se but my perception is that the author portrays the cats feelings and emotions plausibly It adds an interesting dimension to the book and gives it a specific identity The ability often comes into the plot too I enjoyed the cat interactions and the tale of how he came to talk to cats I liked the revelations regarding lion tamers that pertain to this ability too The coded messages between Charlie and his parents were satisfying and I really liked the characters of Charlie s parents Aneeba and Erm his mum The Circus section which made up a good portion of the middle of the book was enjoyable but for me the character I really liked was King Boris The book ends on something of a cliffhanger Everything is tidied up and a definite story has taken place It s a book with a satisfying ending but one which definitely urges you to read on I can t complain too much about this strategy because it s precisely what I aim for in my fantasy series This author finishes the tale in a trilogy however whereas I expect my series will run to seven or eight books The writing was good and engaging but a little uirky at times I ll be honest I think my daughter Who I read this to she s 9 enjoyed this than me She s very keen on animals and I think appreciates the concept of Charlie being able to communicate with cats There was some peril but nothing unsuitable for 7 year old children I d say it s probably an 8 or 9 book in terms of them reading it to themselves My daughter COULD have read this but she likes me sitting and reading to her and I enjoy it too The subject matter was interesting to me but not as gripping as a traditional fantasy world I d say I enjoyed Harry Potter even though I hated the book ending of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and thought the film ending With the book the sock and Lucius Malfoy was much betterWhat this book DOES have is an air of a mystery and a subtle criticism global pharmaceutical companies Which I appreciateAll in all it s a very good book The thing that hindered my enjoyment than anything was simply the fact I didn t gel with subject matter as much I do with Potter However some children will probably prefer this Overall a great bookPaperback Edition StanleyAuthor of The Last Dragon Slayer Free to download Paperback I like how the athor make the coverpage with a lion and the title LION BOY I also liked how the author start talking about how the kid start talking too the animals but only the family of the cats specially with the lionsThe bad part was that the parents of the kid were rapted because they trated to invent a posion that was for the alergickis of the cats In the book the kid go to a circus and know that he can talk to the lions so he scaped with them to a place and find a king The book is very emocinat very sad and very suspicuis Paperback Charlie s parents are kidnapped and Charlie goes searching for them traveling with a circus and becoming the LionBoy for a lion act But the lion tamer doesn t know that Charlie can talk to cats Charlie and his lion friends decide to escape the circus and strike out on their own to find his parentsWhat a fun book Just a romping rollicking adventure story with lots of layers to it I read this book all in one day it s an easy read and really captured my attention The plot even surprised me a few timesI love Charlie s character His emotional ups and downs are perfectly timed to the pace of the plot and give us a feel for his humanity making him an interesting and endearing characterI loved Charlie s parents right away too such a uirky family with their own little languageEven the villains are superbly written creepy and petty and spiteful and sly Just brilliantI was completely fascinated by the lions and all the circus people I have never never heard a circus described in such an entrancing way I felt like I was there watching a real circus act I actually laughed at the clowns and I hate clowns Especially reading about clowns that s totally different from seeing them Reading about clowns is not funny it s just annoying What kind of enchanting writing could actually make me laugh at clowns I ve been bewitched hahaI can see why the writing style not the subject material is compared to JK Rowling It really sucks you into this other world and makes it real for youMy only complaint about this book is that some of the plot developments are a bit too fantastical and coincidental to be believable Granted it s a book about a boy who speaks cat language but still That made it a 4 star book for me instead of the 5 stars I might have given itCan t wait to read the rest of this trilogyUpdate Reading it for the second time is just as good Loved it again Paperback

Fun little adventure that engrosses you and makes you care The main character was surprisingly likeable the plot wasn t too flimsy and the pace was pretty good The ending was classically unfulfilling so as to prepare for another two books which is fine but does mean this book stands less well as a stand alone Some of the action seuences were a little jumpy and under described which was confusing but you get the gist of it pretty easily And no The Demon it s not about furries Paperback 25 3 stars I think I would have really liked this as a kid I found the writing a bit simplistic and as if the authors viewed the audience as a bit slow I could really tell that it was aimed for young children by the language alone Main character Charlie didn t have much depth nor any of the other characters reallyOther than that I had two issues with the book1 It s never explained how the cat language sounds What do other people hear when Charlie speaks to the cats It really bugged me because the author made it seem like they were just speaking with normal words but also pointed out that it was nothing like it Confusing2 The way Charlie is in awe with the circus performance which included a lot of wild animals I m so saddened that many countries even Sweden allow wild animals in circus shows I find that so cruel and old fashioned and I can t believe anyone would want to watch that not to mention be in awe with it I think it gives the wrong message to people circuses with animals are something cool and fantastic when in reality it s animal cruelty and nothing elseThat being said the book is filled with action and it had some sweet moments I liked the ending with the king as well I wish Charlie hadn t spent so much time on the boat with the circus because that was a bit boring The ending made up for it a little bit Paperback The book LionBoy by Zizou Corder was an amazing book It is about a kid named Charlie who has parents that are scientist Charlie also has a special trait where he can talk to cats It all starts when some kid named Rafi who kidnaps his parents because they were working on some cure to asthma So Charlie goes on a huge journey to try and find them First he joins a circus that is going to Paris because a cat told him that two strange men were talking about bringing them to Paris At the circus he meets the circus lions and becomes the Lion Boy The lions ask for Charlie to help them escape and if he does they will help find his parents The only thing I didn t like about the book was that they left you at a cliff hanger at the end Paperback 35 starsNot as good or well written as I remember but still plenty of fun The futuristic element has definitely aged poorly already especially around the climate change themesworldbuilding it feels like the early naughties minus aeroplanes and far too vaguely developed to be convincing Paperback I really loved this I didn t actually read it but the narration was so amazingly enjoyable that I probably will get the next audiobook out as well Ten year old Charlie returns home one day to find that his parents are gone and things don t seem uite right So thus he goes on an adventure to find them again and bring them back home On his journey he stows away on boats joins the floating circus and constantly dodges the bad guy Raffie and his dog But not only that he can talk Cat He can talk to alley cats and pet cats and lions I do think that yes it is a little bit young for me but the characters are so likable and the narration kept me laughing that I couldn t just stop listening to itContent Mild language and rude name calling For ages 11 Paperback.#heading[2].
