About the author
Adam Blade
838 books217 followersAdam Blade is the house name for the Working Partners Ltd. ghostwriters who write the Beast Quest and Sea Quest series.
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father’s paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father’s office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.
As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.
When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age… And still does, even though he’s grown up!
When he’s not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.
Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

This one had some gross imagery but not too graphic. The need to "k!ll" the Beasts to save them is unpleasant. Was OK for 7&4. Read of Archive Library.

April 4, 2017Another great Beast Quest book. Not content with corrupting the animals in Saraph, Malvel and Petra are now corrupting the people as well. Mutated in to Koraka a vicious frying fiend. Tom and Ellana however might succumb to an even baser enemy hunger. When desperation causes a misunderstanding they are seen as the enemies. How can they help the people of Seraph when they are in trouble themselves and can they defeat the Beast without killing the innocent Saraph villager.
