A modern middle-grade graphic novel retelling of Beowulf, featuring a gang of troublemaking kids who must defend their tree house from a fun-hating adult who can instantly turn children into grown-ups. Listen! Hear a tale of mallow-munchers and warriors who answer candys clarion call! Somewhere in a generic suburb stands Treeheart, a kid-forged sanctuary where generations of tireless tykes have spent their youths making merry, spilling soda, and staving off the shadow of adulthood. One day, these brave warriors find their fun cut short by their nefarious neighbor Grindle, who can no longer tolerate the sounds of mirth seeping into his joyless adult life. As the guardian of gloom lays siege to Treeheart, scores of kids suddenly find themselves transformed into pimply teenagers and sullen adults! The survivors of the onslaught cry out for a saviora warrior whose will is unbreakable and whose appetite for mischief is unbounded. They call for Bea Wolf.

A delightful graphic novel for kids. Loved the word play and the art style. I was gifted this beautiful book. I dont think I would have read it otherwise. Was a joy to read. 4 🌟

This is the best book I have read in a LONG time! I think this will be my favorite book of the year. It is SO MUCH FUN! A villain who turns children into adults, the descriptions of childhood chaos, and the word smithing. THE WORD SMITHING. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Loved this graphic novel children‘s take on Beowulf. Great illustrations and hilarious text that is quite faithful to the original. Set in suburbia, the kids battle a fun killer named Mr. Grindle. https://cannonballread.com/2023/03/bea-wolf-elcicco/

This was an amazing graphic novel! It's a children's take on Beowulf with the monster being a man who when he touches something, they become old and grumpy. Loved the graphics, although I would've rather it be in color. Awesome story and looking forward to reading the next one in the series (when it comes out!)

3 ⭐ This graphic novel takes the idea of the classic Beowulf and turns it on its head. It‘s children who like to play and be loud going up against the grouchy neighbor man, Mr. Grendel. What makes this book unique is that it keeps the vocalization of the classic epic. It‘s very‘ very‘ very wordy. The words trip all over themselves. On reading it feels like a troubadour of old, trying to get the audience‘s attention.

LibrarianRyan Think of it like Geoffrey Chaucer in the movie, a Knights Tale (played by Paul Bettany), and how he would introduce Heath Ledger. That is the wording format of this book from page one to page end. Tt makes this book a tad hard to read and gives the reader a bit of a headache. But at the same time, it has a Monty Python and the Holy Grail feel if one can just get to the end of the story. Overall, I like this book, but I didn‘t love it. 14mo

A middle grade graphic novel retelling of Beowulf?! This looks delightful. I saw someone post about it on Instagram and immediately requested it on NetGalley and got it. #arc #NetGalley
