Book Description
Slave boy Bron can usually avoid the wrath - and the stick - of his master, the grumpy village blacksmith. But Bron's life is dull and lacking in family or friendship. And he is always hungry. Then, one day, a Saxon lord arrives - passing through the village on his way to an important war council. Bron gets a chance to escape and prove just how valuable one young lad's actions can be - for his village, for the lord and ultimately, for the whole kingdom. A tale of friendship and the desire to belong, this adventure will thrill young readers. This well-researched story immerses readers in the Anglo-Saxon era, with plenty of period detail about the myths and culture of that time.

Book Description
“Will fire imaginations and elicit the heart-pumping, wide-eyed response that has kept this tale alive and vigorous through the ages.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) Long ago a Scandinavian warrior fought three evils so powerful they threatened whole kingdoms. Standing head and shoulders above his comrades, Beowulf single-handedly saved the land of the Danes from a merciless ogre named Grendel and from his sea-hag mother. But it is his third terrible battle, with the death-dragon of the deep, in which he truly meets his match. Lovers of heroes, monsters, and the drama of battle will find this retelling as enthralling as it is tragic. Now in a handy black-and-white digest edition perfect for classroom use.
