We fall into step with Leo and understand his problem alongside how he faces obstacles in his life. What is her secret? Can she trust Leo with it?Ĭall Me Lion is an insightful, sympathetic and engrossing novel for middle grade readers. What’s more, Maryam and Scarlett seem determined to separate Richa from Leo. The dancing class is one of the few arenas that Leo loses his fears and finds his feet, despite not being able to perform before adults. Therefore, when the three appear at Just Jive, he’s concerned. Leo negotiates people because of his selective mutism, staying safe from Tiffany, Maryam and Scarlett, particularly. Nevertheless, he writes her a letter, following the suggestion of his older sister and brother, that appears to linger at the bottom of Richa’s bag. Despite the fact he contributes nothing to their conversations, she seems to understand. Leo cannot believe that Richa wants to be his friend.
