Listen! Hear a tale of mallow-munchers and warriors who answer candy’s 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 savior—a warrior whose will is unbreakable and whose appetite for mischief is unbounded.

They call for Bea Wolf.

A gorgeous, grin-giving, thought-growing gift

A brilliant retelling of (a part of) Beowolf, ostensibly for kids but really wonderful for anyone, with beautiful illustrations and the always wonderful wit of Zach Wienersmith. Loved every single page of this.

Stunning achievement

Great on its own, but what full of mirrors and inroads to the source. So clever and full of heart - not sitting on it's own cleverness
