About the author
Adam Blade
862 books213 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!

Another Beast quest book this one I give three stars because there is not much of plot.

This one wasn't too bad. A woodsman gets swallowed up and the suffocating parts were a little scary for the 4 year old, but all in all pretty ok for both 4 and 7. I personally like the animated tree thing, and reminds me of a Polish myth told by Naomi Novik. Anyway, everyone lives. Hooray!

I liked this book because I liked the part when Tom finally beat Terra!😁😁😁 I did not like the part when Terra almost beat Tom.

Fairly decent book to the story like a different style of beast which is nice, nothing to crazy in this though. Read in one sitting

I've just finished reading this one to my daughter. Not my cup of tea at all.

Tom nearly got eaten by Terra, but he survived. The thing that Tom needed to get (which was the ingredient he needed to help his Mum survive) was a lovely white flower. Terra's teeth dripped with black sap.
