Disney’s Brave meets Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man in this side-splitting graphic novel about a young girl who has to rescue her fellow warriors from the evil villain Witch Head before he destroys the world! Perfect for readers aged 6+ and fans of Bunny Vs Monkey.

Barb the Brave is a Berzerker, one of a group of warriors sworn to protect the land of Bailiwick from monsters.

But the fearsome crew soon meet their match in the evil villain Witch Head. Using power from his magical sword, he tricks the Zerks and takes them captive... All except Barb, who escapes, taking Witch Head’s sword with her.

Together, with her best friend, Porkchop the yeti, Barb must free her fellow warriors so they can stop Witch Head from taking over the land. On the way, she’ll battle vampire goat fiends, snot goblins, and a giant with serious foot odour issues (but please don’t mention that to him – he’s very sensitive about it)!

The deeper Barb gets into her quest, the harder it is to keep the blade’s awesome power under control... Will she be able to rescue her fellow warriors before it’s too late?
