Overview:
Lionel’s Grand Adventure is a beginning chapter book about a twelve year old boy who is constantly subjected to ridicule from his Mom and older brother. Things change when he makes a seemingly innocent discovery. The magical, yet unpredictable, Three-Toed-Potbellied Walbaun foot takes him on the adventure of a lifetime. Explore Lionel’s adventure and discover the wonderful world of the magical Walbaun foot and the lesson that it helps teach Lionel. My book helps children who want to feel better about themselves. It helps them find a role model. Lionel is very comfortable with who he is despite his physical shortcomings and his bullying Mom and older brother.

Lionel's Grand Adventure is a beginning chapter book for ages 7-10. It has been a long time since I last read something like this and it was quite a pleasant change.

The story begins when Lionel moves to Penobscot, Massachusetts along with his family. He is left to his own devices and so he decides to explore around his new room while "pushing his glasses back up the whole time." That's when he finds the foot of `Three-Toed -Potbellied Walbaun'. Curious about his discovery, he finds out more about the Three-Toed -Potbellied Walbaun foot from an unlikely source - the town eccentric, Mr. Jardean. Once convinced that he really had something magical, Lionel decides to try out its power and thus begins his great adventure...

It's a charming story that is bound to capture the little hearts! (& some not so little ones - like mine!) The names that the author has come up with are also going to catch the attention of the kids who love the unique names or love to play with words. Best of all, it also teaches a lesson in guise of a story! My only regret is that I got an e-copy instead of a physical copy - I would love to see the accompanying pictures that are bound to make this book even more interesting for the kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Reader Story That's Fun for All Ages April 4, 2013

By H. Miller

Format:Kindle Edition

Paul Hewlett has a good thing going with his Lionel Snodgrass series. These early readers are enjoyable for boys and girls of all ages. The lessons are universal and presented in an entertaining way so as not to seem preachy. There is also a high re-readability factor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book to read with your kids! April 2, 2013

By Londoner

Format:Kindle Edition

This is the second "Lionel" adventure I've purchased - the first I bought for my young neighbour Molly - she thoroughly enjoyed and giggled away as she read "Lionel's Christmas Adventure," and I downloaded this latest adventure of "Lionel" for her instead of an Easter egg. Much healthier!

Paul Hewlett writes with a sure touch for children, never talking down to them or preaching, but as Lionel often manages to get himself into trouble by taking the easy way out and using his magical "Walbaun" foot to grant wishes, parents can use Lionel's misadventures as a jumping point for discussions. Best of all though, this is an entertaining story, with lovable characters that children are sure to take to their heart. Highly recommended for schools & libraries, a delightful read for children and parents alike.
