Charlie Ashanti is the son of two scientists who are kidnapped as the result of a dramatic discovery they have made (the cure for asthma, which is rampant in this near-future world). Ten-year-old Charlie decides to go in search of them, and uses his ability to speak Cat (which he's had ever since he was scratched by a leopard as a baby) to gain helpful information. The local cats of London point him in the right direction and even deliver messages from him to his parents and back. When Charlie finds himself aboard a floating circus thats heading to Paris, he befriends the circus lions, who become his further accomplices. He will help them escape the circus as this first book in a trilogy draws to a close.
Charlie and the lions have made it safely to Venice. But King Boriss palace becomes a prison rather than a haven. The king's right-hand man has secretly made plans to give the lions to the Doge (Venices much-hated ruler). When word arrives from the cat grapevine that Charlie's parents are not being held in Italy after all, Charlie knows he must take fast action not only to rescue his lion friends but also to continue his search for his parents. He receives help from a gondolier, and during a city uprising against the Doge, Charlie and the lions escape by boat to Moroccowhere more danger (in the form of Maccomo and Rafi) awaits them. But also waiting: Charlies parents!
At the end of Lionboy: The Chase Charlie Ashanti has restored the lions to their home in the wilds of Morocco and been reunited in the port town of Essaouira with his parents, Magdalen and Aneba. 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?
