Description
This high-octane and uproariously funny graphic novel follows Barb the Brave on another high stakes quest.
Perfect for readers aged 6+ and fans of Bunny Vs Monkey, Disney's Brave and Dav Pilkey's Dog Man.
Barb is a Berzerker, one of an elite crew of warriors who protect the land of Bailiwick from the scourge of monsters.
The evil Witch Head has captured all of the adult Berzerkers . . . Cue Barb to the rescue! But she’s not alone – Barb’s got her own amateur crew of wannabe zerks, made up of farmers, monsters, and her best pal Porkchop the yeti.
This ragtag gang must infiltrate Maug Horn, the monster capital, and find Franny Fire Fingers, who they hope will lead them to the Wise Wizards and the power to fight Witch Head. But when Barb's powerful Shadow Blade sword is no match for the evil she encounters, Barb must learn that her true power comes from her own heart.
Join Barb on her second spellbinding adventure to save the day once again.
