When's #2 Coming Out?
This story is one of those books that will make you love to read. The plot is easy to understand and fun, and will keep the pages turning until your finished with it. Our family loves this book, and my brother finally found a book he loves. This book shows us that normal people make mistakes, but that there is a hero in all of us. If #2, which I'm told is in the works, is as good as the first, then this is a series that will be getting serious attention. This is worth every penny...

Excellent for boys and girls
This book combines the perfect amount of battle scenes for boys and a little romance for girls. There is no kissing, so it's appropiate for young kids. The plot is ingenious and very gripping for it includes real life talking lizards in their world of fighting for freedom against the oppressive chameleons. Louie is hidden for safety, but he doesn't know he's the secret heir to the throne. His father was killed in the battle of the chameleon take-over, but Louie never knew him. Louie grows up in a adoptive family, but tragedy strikes when the chameleons kill them off.He is soon taken in by Talis, a hidden commander of Louie's deceased father. In the woods, they hide and build up secret forces for the overthrow while Louie learns his tactics for fighting and becoming the king of the lizards. On a particular event, Louie meets Marie a lizard whose family has been torn apart by the chameleons. Together they and Talis force out the opressive chameleons and regain freedom of Lizard Island once and again. The is story is great for a thrill seeker.

Easy Read
First, I don't like to give my e-mail. I'm really an adult who bought it for my kids. Anyway:
This is a pretty entertainig read. But I had two problems with this book:
1) I liked the concept. Lizards fighting. Funny. But I felt that this author could have added a little more and it would have been better. I mean, it would have been a lot better if he used mor descriptive words, and a little more action.
2) The romance was bad. First it talks about Louie, a lizard, who loses all his friends. And then there's this lizard who likes him and wants to have sex with him. She tries to hard. And Louie falls for it. Isn't this book reccomended for 8-12 year olds? And then the lizards win a battle and suddenly Louie wantsa wife.
He's like:
"Every King needs a Queen." I mean, you'd think he might have learned with Trina. And we din't even see this coming. In Star Wars, Anakin acts so dumb, but you notice he's falling in love. In this, Louie's just fighting and suddenly, he wants to get married. Real Life: I wouldn't want to get married just for the heck of having a queen. If he really wanted to, he could just have sex with a cameleon, and banish her.
Overall, I thought it was okay. The author just didn't have to have Louie getting married yet.

War Lizards
Have you ever read a book with war fighting lizards? Louieloses his family at a young age and he has to fight for what he wants. If you want to know more get this book and read it.

Thetheme for thisstory is you can't always get what you want. If you try , you mightbe able to receive your wish , however I think this book is eerie and on the edge , you will never put down this book. What will he do next?

What "Finding Nemo" did for fish, Louie does for lizards.
Take Harry Potter mixed with Simba of "The Lion King," cross him with an orphaned prince named Louie, mix in some life lessons and vocabulary/reading comprehension lessons, and you get the delightful Destiny, Valor and a Lizard named Louie by Michael Ambrosio.But why do mothers always get short shrift from fairy tales? ...
