Summary
Ten-year-old Charlie Ashanti is a young Brit with the unusual and amazing ability to speak Cat. This talent comes in handy when he arrives home one night to discover that his biologist parents have been kidnapped and that the neighborhood cats are the only trustworthy creatures he can turn to. After escaping Rafi, a neighborhood tough hot on his trail, Charlie embarks on an exciting journey of epic proportions. Ending up on a Paris-bound ship housing a traveling circus, he befriends and releases a group of lions. The lions then join him on the search for his parents, who have been communicating with him via a network of cats stretching across the continent. Set in a future without cars, this book-the first in the Lionboy trilogy-was written by a mother/daughter team whose pen name, "Zizou," is after their pet lizard.
