Lionboy:\u00a0 The Truth<\/em><\/p>\n

Book Three of the Lionboy Trilogy<\/em><\/p>\n

by Zizou Corder<\/p>\n

read by Simon Jones<\/p>\n

Highbridge Audio, 2005.\u00a0 6 hours on 5 compact discs.<\/p>\n

The Truth <\/em>brings the Lionboy <\/em>trilogy to a most satisfying conclusion.\u00a0 In the earlier books, Charlie’s parents were kidnapped, and Charlie went after them.\u00a0 In the third book, Charlie is the one kidnapped.\u00a0 His parents and the friends he has made along the way come to his rescue, but in the end Charlie’s own ingenuity, courage, and loyalty save the day for far more people and animals than just himself.<\/p>\n

There are a few outrageous coincidences in this book, as there were in the earlier books.\u00a0 However, it’s all in good fun.\u00a0 This is a rather wild adventure tale set in the near future.\u00a0 The action takes Charlie across the globe to the very seat of the sinister Corporacy.<\/p>\n

Charlie can still talk to cats, and in this book he becomes better acquainted with Ninu, a chameleon who can not only take on the colors around him, but also the languages.\u00a0 With Ninu’s help, Charlie can talk to any person and any thing.<\/p>\n

Like the rest, this makes good listening material, and would be great for a family car trip.\u00a0 There is plenty of action to keep you diverted, and once again the narrator has a delightful voice (and accent) to listen to.<\/p>\n
