Charlie and his lion friends have made it safely to Venice, but it turns out that their journey has only just begun. King Boris's palace was meant to be a haven, but it's starting to feel more like a prison. When word arrives from the cat grapevine that his parents are not being held in Italy after all, Charlie knows he must take fast action. Luckily a new ally has come on the scene—and just in the knick of time: Rafi is in hot pursuit.
This second book in the Lionboy trilogy is even more action-packed than the first, offering clever escapes, shipwreck, a prehistoric beast named Primo who will prove himself a great hero, and surprises that will shock and delight. It's an exhilarating, suspenseful whirlwind of a story, and listeners will be clamoring for more.

" it was as good as the first "
— Michael, 2/6/2014" Decent. It seems like a fill-in-between book for the 1st and 3rd ones, though "

— Dennis, 1/19/2014" This was quite a good book, although i thought that it was quite Mundane in parts, and i thought that it could have been more relevant to the first book. "
— Jessica, 1/17/2014" This is a great follow up to the first one, when Rafi continues his search for Charlie and his lions. I had to read this after reading the first one. "
— Jonathan, 1/14/2014" Now that I've read this book, I'm very glad the two main problems were solved. What agitated me most were the last three words... TO BE CONTINUED... the suspense! "

— Susie, 1/4/2014" It was pretty good. :) "
— Thomas, 12/17/2013" mungkin karena buku ini memang dibuat untuk pembaca yang masih anak-anak, atau remaja awal, jadi masih terlalu banyak hal yang tidak mungkin. setting waktu juga masih kurang jelas. namun secara keseluruhan bagus dan memang cocok sekali sebagai bacaan anak. "

— Sebastion, 4/25/2013" I thought this was okay. It was sort of entertaining while I was reading it, but when I was done I wasn't glad I read it. I know that a lot of people liked it, though, so you should probably try it for yourself if you're interested in reading it. "
— Molly, 10/13/2012" A well-imagined post-climate change world, with lots of thoughtful things to say about social justice, racism, animal rights, corporate exploitation and multi-ethnic families. Not to mention being a fast-paced, fun read. Hey, the boy can talk to cats, what more do I need to say. "
