Barb is a Berzerker whose mission is to protect the city of Bailiwick. In this book, Barb is captured by the evil Witch Head. Barb is luckily saved by her mom and brought to a cave. But Barb must miss an epic battle between the Berzerkers, the Witch Head, and his evil army. During an epic showdown, Barb has to stay in a cave with his Yeti friend, Porkchop. Barb and Porkchop must brave many challenges to join an epic battle to save Bailiwick.
Action-packed, strong female character, hilarious, and colorful artwork is a must-read for all the Dog Man and Bad Guys fans.
Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick is the third book in the Barb series. I didn’t read the first two books of the Barb series, but I read the reviews and summaries on Amazon. Surprisingly, I quickly followed the story; a short prologue can be found at the beginning of the book.
I love maps, and you have two funny and well-done maps at the book’s beginning and end.
My favorite character was Porkchop. I loved the scene where Barb and Porkchop visited Porkchop Yeti’s family. I love Yetis.
Barb is such a brave girl fighting dragons and evil witches.
The artwork is well-done, colorful, and captures the characters’ emotions.
Give this book to kids who love a creative adventure with laughable twists and turns.
