Beowulf is a fantastic book with EYE-POPPING features. Beowulf is an extraordinary book for children aged 9+. For one thing, I find this book is filled with wonder and excitement.
The main character is as brave as brass (Beowulf he was called) because on countless attempts he saved King Hrothgar and his city Heorot from at first a blood thirsty monster and next the monster's sea-hag of a mother and later Beowulf's own people. By Poppy L, age 9 My favourite quote is 'A formidable breeze brought then over the shallows' because it really describes the scene and it paints a picture in your head and only GREAT books do that!
This book makes me feel like I'm there. Would I recommend it to a friend?
This make-belief book is set in the deadly depths of Denmark around 400 AD, an especially troubling era. Beowulf is only one of Sir Michel Morpurgo best selling novels because it has lots of suspense making me want to carry on reading to see if the hero has met his match. YES,YES,YES!
However, if you don't like legends than look on! Beowulf is a Viking legend so if you like legends you should look no further and buy this book because Beowulf is the book for you.
