A modern middle-grade graphic novel retelling of Beowulf featuring a gang of troublemaking
kids who must defend their tree house from a fun-hating adult who can instantly turn children
into grown-ups. Listen! Hear a tale of mallow-munchers and warriors who answer candy's
clarion call! Somewhere in a generic suburb stands Treeheart a kid-forged sanctuary where
generations of tireless tykes have spent their youths making merry spilling soda and staving
off the shadow of adulthood. One day these brave warriors find their fun cut short by their
nefarious neighbor Grindle who can no longer tolerate the sounds of mirth seeping into his
joyless adult life. As the guardian of gloom lays siege to Treeheart scores of kids suddenly
find themselves transformed into pimply teenagers and sullen adults! The survivors of the
onslaught cry out for a savior-a warrior whose will is unbreakable and whose appetite for
mischief is unbounded. They call for Bea Wolf.
