A graphic novel reinterpretation of Beowulf where time is counted in Halloweens, this book is a true joy and delightful to read aloud. The language is jam-packed, energy-filled, and exquisitely clever. A band of unruly kids who want to STAY kids is threatened by neighbor Grindle, a “grim-faced joy-gobbler” who aims to catapult the children into adulthood. To the rescue? Little Bea Wolf, who will lead them in battle and defend Treeheart, their lawless tree home.
