The Brothers Lionheart

by Astrid Lindgren

Ages 9–12 Reading age 10 Novel Set in somewhere magical epicmoving

Karl is dying and his brother tells him about Nangijala, the country they will meet in afterwards, which turns out to be at war with a dragon.

A story about children and families, epic and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
