About this title

Synopsis

A super-readable, dyslexia-friendly reimagining of Beowulf.

One dark night, the sound of music and singing wakes a terrible monster from his sleep in a foul swamp. Warrior after warrior comes to slay the monster, but no one can outwit Grendel.

Only the great hero Beowulf stands a chance, but even he is not prepared for the horror that lies in wait.

Union Square & Co.’s Everyone Can Be a Reader books are expertly written, thoughtfully designed with dyslexia-friendly fonts and paper tones, and carefully formatted to meet readers where they are with engaging stories that encourage reading success across a wide range of age and interest levels.
