"Eowulf" is a delightful and charming read, blending fun and cuteness effortlessly. The story's whimsical tone and endearing characters make for an enjoyable journey through a world filled with wonder and adventure. From its playful narrative to its heartwarming moments, "Eowulf" is a true delight that is sure to bring a smile to readers' faces.

Did I think we would have children's graphic novels based on Beowulf in consecutive years? Definitely not, but I'm not mad about it. Set within the Nico Bravo universe, this adventure is silly and fun. A fun update on the classic story.

Eowolf is back in the real world, playing D&D with her besties and getting ready to start school. First day back her friends are just watching as the school freak gets bullied at the bus stop. Deciding that her new hero status puts her in a place to help rather than hurt, she befriends him and tries to help. This leads her on an unexpected adventure in the real world, full of monsters and legendary heroes and... her Dad?

There was a lot going on in this book... a LOT. I think that the intended audience would love all the action, the artwork, and the fun objects of power. There was plenty to keep them going with a lot of new things to see. As an adult that appreciates balanced story lines this one didn't really make sense to me. It was very face value good versus evil with everyone hating on this poor kid with no reason, including Eowolf before she had this grand awakening.

Again, kids would appreciate the book, which is what really counts.

This was a pretty fun and cute book! I'm very interested in the trend of having Beowulf related stories in children's literature that I've noticed lately, and this is one of the much better ones that I've read.

Our team absolutely adored this book. It immediately got a spot on our tween book list for 2024/25. It matches perfectly with our 6th grade curricula where we read Beowulf.

Eowulf is descended from Beowulf and comes from a line of monster hunters. When she decides to befriend the outcast at school, her parents aren’t happy because it turns out he is the son of their former nemesis.

This one was a fun read! There were some twists and turns I wasn’t expecting and I thought the art was cute. I definitely think this would be a fun read for kids.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me an ARC copy of the book.
This graphic novel's title drew me in, figuring it had something to do with Beowulf. That was definitely the case.
Eowulf learned early in her life that not all "monsters" are monsters. This knowledge helps her grow as a "normal" adolescent girl.
This story is probably good for 4th grade+, but there was one small event that if the reader thinks about it, could be a pretty mature topic (most will probably just gloss over it without thinking).
I haven't read the other graphic novels from this author, but if I had, I'd probably understand the ending a little more.

I love this book. Eowulf is a delight. I loved everything about her. This book was so fun and empowering. Great story.
