About the author
Adam Blade
857 books211 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!

A great Beast Quest book. Tom and Elenna are battered and bruised are moving the Warrior's Road, but they cannot ignore a plea for help.
Now they meet a new enemy, and have to trust an old enemy. The will fight in every front as well as fighting a determined beast.
I can't remember any other beast giving these two so much trouble. Ends with a literal cliffhanger. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm intrigued by the Beast Quest series. The plot is simple, straightforward and has good action, but instead of the language being simple and pedestrian, it is rich in adjectives and onomatopoeia. This makes it a pleasure to read, and enables the reader to ride the waves of action, whilst still diving deeper into details.
I think this series is a winner for reluctant readers and for those who enjoy adventure and action.
