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 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,
snotgoblins 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?
Relax Kids helps children manage their monsters of anxiety and
worry, deal with the dragons of anger and stress, and make friends
with their gremlins of grief and sadness.
