Review

Good Comics For Kids Weekly Pick
"It's exciting to see this great new twist on the old English epic poem that also breathes new life into it."  (Good Comics For Kids)

"Fajardo brings new life to the classic title of Beowulf in this 21st century rendering of the epic tale. With a charming sense of wit, humor, and an engaging host of characters this unforgettable read is sure to make its way onto many students' 'Favorite Reads' list in years to come." 

"Without a doubt Kid Beowulf rises to the challenge of competing with its legendary namesake. Who knows, it may even become its own legendary tale and be told in centuries to come, just like its predecessor."  (Diamond Bookshelf Reviews)
