About this listen

Here be Dragons! Magic! Danger!

Odo (seventh child of the village miller) and Eleanor (always looking for adventure) stumble upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. Eleanor (strong and able) tries to extract the sword but is unable to, and it is Odo who is surprisingly successful. It is even more surprising that the sword, once pulled out, starts to talk. And rather annoying when the talking sword turns out to be rather grumpy, stubborn and, at times, catastrophically wrong.

Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous knightly sword from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight - a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, is desperate to become and would be the perfect knight - but she's not the one with the sword.

Finding Biter is only the start - reluctant knight, reluctant squire and determined sword must go on a quest to save their kingdom from threats in both human and dragon form, in this new very funny fantasy triumph from Garth Nix and Sean Williams.

Different to previous Garth Nix books but good in its own right. Light hearted tale with good narration.

My daughter and grandsons convinced me that this book is definitely a worth a listen! I succumbed! And I think it is brilliant! Not too intense and really good fun,! The characters are superb, and they stick to their character types throughout. The narration was also excellent,......... I've just downloaded the second in the series.

Certainly this sort of book encourages reading in children.

OK! I'm a bit old for this one!😁 I LOVED IT
