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?

I liked that it was a medieval and they managed to make it funny! [mostly porkchop the yeti who loved sausages.] I would highly recommend.

Barb the brave is an amazing book. Sometimes its a bit intense but ages 6-9 should read this book. They will like it because sometimes things are challenging and sometimes its funny. I looked the weird jokes and the characters being the characters

This was amazing. It was an adventurous comic book and I loved it.

A bright, colourful graphic novel for younger readers with a feisty female protagonist. Good for visual literacy and a nice addition to the graphics range.
Took me a few chapters get into this. I think it would benefit from some previous series knowledge. Plot was unoriginal and a bit a trope but don't think children would pick up on this. Worth a try

Amazing read for years 6-12

I liked this book because I liked the sword fights. It was about a girl who snatches a sword off a mean guy.

I love the laughter and the plot was amazing. It made me think about facing my fears because Porkchop was afraid of spiders and he went through a cave filled with spiders and then he knew they couldn’t make it out together so he let Barb go but stayed behind facing his fear. My favourite character was Porkchop.
