When Charlie Ashanti comes home to an empty house he knows that something is wrong. When Rafi, the coolest kid (teenish person) in his city tries to kidnap him, he knows that something is seriously wrong. Little does he know that the Corporacy  an evil business, has kidnaped his parents for their asthma cure. However, he knows that nothing can stop him as he does everything in his power to save them, from running away with the circus to stowing away on a train. Can he save his parents in time? Or will they become mindless workers of the Corporacy? Read the trilogy to find out!

I really love this series! Everything about it, from the Sci-fi elements to the characters are amazing! This book really has a real-world feel, with just enough mystery to keep you reading. I also enjoy the main character. You can't help but fall in love with courageous, catspeaking Charlie. He is so fun and interesting and exciting and independent. This is also a must-read for anybody who is really into cats. (0r lions, or tigers, or leopards, or.... well, read it and you will see what I mean.)
