review:
I only received a 45 page preview for 'Kid Beowulf #3: The Rise of El Cid' by Alexis E. Fajardo, but based on that preview and what I know from reading the previous volumes, I can confidently state that this will be another fun adventure where young readers learn more about legendary heroes.

This time around Kid Beowulf and Grendel find themselves fighting in Spain. They meet a knight named Rodgrigo. There is also a good preface telling the story that we know of El Cid. I was really only familiar with El Cid from the Charlton Heston film that came out ages ago, so I liked this version.

The story and art are similar to the first two volumes. There are lessons to be learned and humor along the way. If you liked the first two volumes, like I did, then I can recommend this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
