The Book of Legends: What if all the stories were real? by Lenny Henry

Description

From comedy legend Lenny Henry, author of The Boy With Wings, comes his fantastic second novel for 8-12 year olds, The Book of Legends, perfect for fans of laugh-out-loud adventures and illustrated inside by the incredibly talented Keenon Ferrell. Quests are no joke (but there are lots of jokes in this book). Two ordinary kids are about to go on one extraordinary adventure! When their storyteller mum mysteriously disappears four years after their dad, Fran and her twin brother Bran, who’s deaf, know they have to stick together – if only to face their new guardian’s terrible cooking! Everything changes when their mum’s magical storybook transports them into a mythical world they thought only existed in legends.

Suddenly, evil princes, mud monsters and Viking armies are all very real and out to get them. Luckily, the twins have Wilma, the Wizard’s Wife, and Zachary, the wisecracking Zebracorn, to help them solve the mystery surrounding their parents’ disappearance.
