A Kirkus Best Book of the Year
This action-packed graphic novel stars an unforgettable, iconic new heroine who has monster problems—and middle school problems!

Eowulf Wegmund just had the most amazing summer ever! She traveled to a magical supply shop at the crossroads of all realities, rescued unicorn soldiers from a pocket dimension, and fought an evil god with the help of her new friend Nico Bravo. Pretty rad stuff, even if you are descended from the legendary monster hunter Beowulf!
Now Eowulf finds herself back home in her boring New Jersey suburb, where the only monsters are the ones in her D&D game and the weirdest creature around is her middle school classmate Amadeus Hornburg—and he's just an angry little jerk that nobody likes. But when a mysterious supervillain returns to wreak havoc on their quiet town, Eowulf and Amadeus must join forces to unearth a dark past that wants to stay buried.

      Gr 3-8-Eowulf Wegmund is a middle schooler who enjoys gaming with her friends. She also just happens to be a descendant of Beowulf-yes, that Beowulf. When she's not in school, she trains with her best friend, a magic sword named Roger, to fight monsters that threaten the world. She used to have a much looser definition of fighting monsters until she realized that "if you spend your life hunting creatures because they're different from you...you're the monster." Having spent a summer rescuing unicorns from a pocket dimension and fighting alongside her friend Nico Bravo, she's back in New Jersey playing D&D and trying to make amends with schoolmate Amadeus Hornburg, the student body's punching bag. Right as Eowulf starts getting through to Amadeus, a mysterious monster attacks the town, and the two have to investigate who's really behind the attacks, uncovering family secrets in the process. A fun spin-off of the "Nico Bravo" series, Eowulf stands on its own as an action-packed adventure with witty dialogue and entertaining characters. Cavallaro seamlessly moves the action between fantasy RPG and reality-past and present-giving readers a little bit of everything in this wild tale. VERDICT Graphic novel fans are going to devour Eowulf's first solo adventure, and likely ask for seconds. -Rosemary Kiladitis
