Summary

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power meets Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man in this high-octane and uproariously funny second book following Barb and her trusty yeti pal, Porkchop, on their quest to rescue her fellow warriors and liberate Bailiwick from the evil villain Witch Head!

Barb is a Berzerker, part of an elite crew of warriors who protect the land of Bailiwick from the scourge of monsters。 The evil Witch Head has captured all the adult Berzerkers and Barb’s the only one who can save them。 But she’s not alone—Barb’s got her own amateur crew of would-be zerks, made up of farmers, monsters, and her best pal Porkchop the yeti。

This ragtag gang must infiltrate Maug Horn, the monster capital where only monsters are allowed, and find Franny Fire Fingers, who they hope will lead them to the Wise Wizards and the power to fight Witch Head。 But when even the powerful Shadow Blade sword is no match for the evil Barb encounters, she must learn that her true power comes from her own heart。

These are cute and I think a kid of the right age will find them funny。

Graphic NovelI received an electronic ARC from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers through Edelweiss+。Barb is back and taking on a new quest。 She is joined by her loyal friends and continues to show that humans and monsters must work together。 The artwork is realistic and lets readers move through the mountains with the characters。 This second book sets up quite a cliffhanger for readers。

Thank you School Library Journal for giving me the opportunity to read the advance copy of Barb and the Ghost Blade by Dan Abdo。This is the second book in the Berserker series! Young readers that are beginning to read graphic novels or avid graphic novel readers will devour this book in a heartbeat。 The talking bubbles are big, the font is bold, there are a lot of action sounds, and the pace of the book is quick。 The plot is not to serious or complex, which is great for reluctant readers who dis Thank you School Library Journal for giving me the opportunity to read the advance copy of Barb and the Ghost Blade by Dan Abdo。This is the second book in the Berserker series! Young readers that are beginning to read graphic novels or avid graphic novel readers will devour this book in a heartbeat。 The talking bubbles are big, the font is bold, there are a lot of action sounds, and the pace of the book is quick。 The plot is not to serious or complex, which is great for reluctant readers who dislike books that focus on critical thinking when reading。The art work interesting because all the monsters come in different shapes and sizes。 I honestly thought I was watching Adventure Time while reading this novel because the artwork is so similar。I would recommend that readers need to read the books in numeric order because there are people and events that the main character befriends or fights that readers might get confuse if just randomly read one of the books。My children's collections owns the first book in the series and I will be purchasing Barb and the Ghost Blade when it is released。 。。。more

Barb is back and stronger than ever! She leads her motley crew to the monster capital of Maug Horn where they hope to reunite the Wise Wizards so that they may use their power to defeat the evil Witch Head。 This story is hilarious, exciting, and action-packed。 Readers are going to love exploring Bailiwick and rooting for Barb!
