This is an amazing book! I love graphic novels, but I hate confusing books. This is perfect for me as its very simple and adventurous!!
very good book i liked how the author put in words like boom oh and a witch
We think this book is AMAZING! We like the cartoon, comic book style and think it appeals to a range of audiences. It keeps us entertained when read in the different character voices.
I loved this book, not just because I liked graphic novels I also loved the storyline and the different monsters
I really enjoyed this book! It has some amazing scenes that made me laugh out loud! Everyone thought I was crazy when I laughed in school! I also love how the book has a meaningful message to the reader! It’s amazing how the author has created the characters perfectly to match the story! This is the by far the best book I have read!
I was reading barb the brave when I realised its not for me but Its really good for young kids under the age of about nine it has loads of comedy and action not the best for people over the age of 9 or 10 i would say but if you have a kid maybe they will like it
I really enjoyed the sense of humor in this book it mixes well with adventurous tone.I would definetly recommend this book to my friends and family.A positive and negitive its a graphic novel me personally I do not mind reading graphic novels but it might effect the way how another would imagine the book. The book can appear childish and silly just by the cover but the first few pages really show Barb as being thoughtful/caring and intelligent towards her plans .I think lots of people apart of a younger audience would realate to the behaviour of Barb and how hyper and eager she is to battle.
