Monster Slayer: A Beowulf Tale

Patten, Brian/ Riddell, Chris

A stunning prose retelling of Beowulf from an author-illustrator dream-team. Now in a standard paperback format for middle-grade readers.

One dark night, the music and singing wake a monster from a swamp… Warrior after warrior comes to slay the monster, but no one can outwit Grendel. Only the great hero Beowulf stands a chance – but even he is not prepared for the horror that lies in wait.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+.
