But just as Charlie is beginning to think that his adventures might be over, who should reappear but the nasty lion-tamer Maccomo and the raffish Rafi. Before he knows it, Charlie has been kidnapped once again and is in the hold of a ship bound he knows not where. All is not lost, however. Eventually the entire cast of the LIONBOY trilogy find themselves on a Caribbean island, the home of the sinister Corporacy. Can Charlie bring the story to a triumphant conclusion by vanquishing the Corporacy and ridding the world of its nefarious schemes?
Paula Rohrlick - KLIATT
This final tale about young Charlie Ashanti, "lion-rescuer, shipwreck-survivor, circus veteran, son of asthma-cure-inventing scientists, and Catspeaker," picks up where the last book leaves off, with Charlie resting up from his rescue of his kidnapped parents. Unfortunately, now it's Charlie's turn to be kidnapped. He's taken off on a boat first to Ghana and then to a Caribbean island owned by the evil Corporacy. His parents and his lion friends set off in pursuit, while his old enemies Maccomo and Rafi pose new threats and a new friend, a little chameleon who can speak any language, comes to Charlie's aid. This lively series by a British mother-and-daughter team will appeal to upper elementary and middle school students, who will appreciate intrepid Charlie's wild escapades. A fun, light read. (Lionboy trilogy, #3). KLIATT Codes: JRecommended for junior high school students. 2005, Penguin, Dial, 240p. map. illus., Ages 12 to 15.
