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.
