I got this book for my grandson, but of course I had to read it first. It truly is a wonderful story, so heartwarming and well written. Perfect for a young lad just getting into chapter books. I note that a reviewer called “R. Miller” gave the book a one star rating stating that it was a fiction that Christian survived in the jungle or ever had a pride of his own. In response to his tirade, please go to Wikipedia under “Christian the Lion” and read what truly happened to the lion after being turned loose in Africa.

This is clearly a teen book and not aimed at adults, but I discovered it on a list of books for “those who were going through Harry Potter withdrawals.”
It isn’t Harry Potter by any stretch of the imagination. And it isn’t perfect. But it is very readable and with the exception of the over-the-top dwarf character (Mulch Diggums) it is constructed well enough that the story is fun and surprising.
I’ve read through the third book now and have ordered the fourth. They are not great works of art, but certainly readable and worth buying.
