OMG!! This book just keeps getting better! The illustrations in this book are fabulous! Not only the ones within the story, but the front and back covers!!! I read this one in a day! Will have to go back and see if my niece will play me the music that is listed in the story....I don't play piano. I am so enjoying the adventure that I don't want it to end!

While I love the Lionboy trilogy as a whole, the second and third aren't quite as captivating to me as the first. There is still a great story and characters that I love, but when I go back to read 2 and 3, I tend to skip to my favorite parts instead of being satisfied reading them from cover to cover.
In this second book, Charlie and his lion friends are on the run from a nasty lion trainer, and Charlie's parents are desperate to escape from the clutches of the evil Corporacy.
I loved the action and adventure in this one, and the way that Charlie begins to trust his own instincts more and more. We find out more about the mystery of WHY Charlie's parents were kidnapped in the first place, and we get to see Charlie growing up, getting stronger, and taking control of his situation.
The lions are such wonderful characters, and they get some more development in this book, along with a few other smaller cats. It's beautiful to see how magnificent they are,
I love how exotic all of the settings are in these books; Paris, Venice, Morocco, and Gibraltar are all described with such vividness that you can feel the heat of the African coastal winds, or the damp climbing the walls in a chilly Venetian hallway.
The story had me cheering for Charlie, and hating the loathsome villains. There are so many emotional ups and downs in this book, and I was fully invested in each character's plotline. The plot really surprised me several times too! So many great twists and turns and wild circumstances!
Can't wait to finish this trilogy! Loving it!

This is the second book in The Lionboy trilogy. Charlie and the lions are taken to the King's palace in Venice. Here he hopes to find his parents and then return the lions to Africa, but Edward has other plans. Can Charlie and the lions escape? Will Charlie ever find his parents? Will Maccomo recapture the lions? Will Rafi capture Charlie? Will Charlie ever discover why the Corporacy is so interested in his family? What is the secret of the Allergenies? A great sequel to the first novel and sets up the action for the third.
Di sini Charlie kecil bukan sja hrs belajar ttg pertemanan, tp juga ttg pengkhianatan. Edward yg diserahi tugas oleh Raja Boris untuk membantunya, malah berbalik dan punya rencana sendiri. Belum lagi ulah Raffi dan Massomo. Untunglah singa-singa dan kucing-kucing masih bisa diandalkan. Sementara itu, rahasia penelitian ayah ibu Charlie dan kaitannya dengan perusahaan farmasi, serta kucing, makin terkuak.
Aku jg suka sekali melihat-lihat peta, bagan, rancangan dan berbagai ilustrasi lain yg disertakan di buku ini. Seep!
