(3) 4-6 As a baby, Rune mysteriously washed up on the shore of King Beowulf's domain; the king spared Rune's life though others would have killed him. When a dragon starts ravaging the land, Rune resolves to prove himself--and seek vengeance--by slaying the creature. In this well-conceived Beowulf reimagining, the characters' dynamics, especially in the buildup to fighting the dragon, will keep readers' interest.
