Synopsis

Twin brothers, Beowulf and Grendel, are lost in ancient Italy and forced to fight for their freedom in the gladiatorial games. In the arena the brothers will discover a part of themselves neither knew existed and the fighter and the monster will emerge. Meanwhile in the Tiber River Valley among the Seven Hills, two tribes are at odds: the high-born Sabines who have made the land their own and the poor Latin farmers who are forced to till it. Compelled toward change, a young Latin girl named Tarpeia incites a revolution no one is ready for, particularly the pair chosen to lead it: twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. Action and adventure. Swords and sandals. The newest Kid Beowulf graphic novel is inspired by history, mythology, and the founding of ROME!

Inspired by the epic poem BEOWULF, Kid Beowulf is an action-adventure graphic novel series following the adventures of 12-year-old twin brothers, Beowulf and Grendel as they travel across distant lands and meet fellow epic heroes therein! The Tarpeian Rock is the fourth book in the ongoing series. The series is ideal for fans of Bone, Wings of Fire, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

My Take on the Book
I have loved the Kid Beowulf stories in the past and this story did not disappoint as the adventure and fun continue in this great new book in the series. 

What I loved most was the blending of history, fantasy, and more to create a world that you will not forget and characters that really draw you into the book from every page. If you love mythology and history, you will love the story, the art, and the pace of this adventure-laden book. 

The book weaves in humor, history, and more to create a memorable 4th book in the series. Even if you have not read the earlier books, you will love this book and it will encourage you to read the others too!
