"Most boys don't slay sea serpents or have an actual monster for a brother, but Beowulf is not most boys. This is the origin story of twin brothers Beowulf and Grendel separated at birth and reunited by an extraordinary family: their grandfather, the imperious King Hrothgar; their monstrous (but loving) mother, Gertrude; their fire-ghost of a father; and their other grandfather--the towering, one-eyed Dragon whose bloodline links them all in their ancient home of Daneland. Oh yeah, there's also a pig and a talking sword!"--Back cover.

"Giants! Elephants! Roller Coasters? That's just some of the mayhem twin brothers Beowulf and Grendel discover in the second adventure! Banished from their homeland, the brothers seek refuge with their Uncle Holger in far-off France, but by the time they arrive, the kingdom is in shambles: King Charlemagne is ailing; his knights have been exiled; and France's hero, Roland, needs a kick in the pants. It's up to Beowulf and Grendel to unite the country before it's taken over by an invading Saracen horde!"--Amazon.com.
