I was at a friend's house and didn't have anything else to read I found this so I read and it was fine
I've just read this with Maxim. Quests, knights and dragons, perfect for a 7 year old :-)
The Beast Quest stories are a series of books that I am reading to my children at night. They are not particularly well written, or anything special. However, they are easy to read and contain short chapters well suited to reading before they go to sleep. Also, as there are a series of them it is nice to collect and always good to have a continued set of characters to follow.
I find the Beast Quest books dull and predictable, but all of my kids like them.
Page-turning medievalish fantasy for the early chapter book reader. A little thin on character development, but that's hard to do in 78 pages of dragon-slaying. Would totally recommend to the 7 year old boys (and a few girls) who turn everything into a sword.
My kid loves Beast Quest and read them at school many years ago, but didn’t own any of them, so when they saw them in Waterstones today, it was a no-brainer.
Curiosity got the better of me and so I thought I’d have a little read, and now I love them too!

Knight versus dragon a story as old as words themselves. A very enjoyable read.

An extremely fast-paced and very short story! I was surprised this was the first in the series when there was so little set-up, but it does what it purports to, and fairly well at that! Readers who want fast-paced action without too much violence or too much complexity in sentences and vocabulary would enjoy this. I can imagine the next books in the series will be just as formulaic and simple in plot.
I was disappointed that the main character, Tom, doesn't have too many setbacks on his first quest. Things felt surprisingly easy! And you have the classic case of a female sidekick who feels like she's there just to help the boy hero. It's of its time, but I can see why this series was so popular when it's so pacy and when the main character is without any traits that would deem him unlikeable.
