Reviews

It was a fiction book . There was a boy called Tom who was trying to save his home world from the beasts sent by an evil wizard. The beast was a shapeshifter who was the last beast of the four beasts.

This book was great because they were back in Avantia because of Petra who put a spell on them. They were put in a cell and escaped. The bad King was the beast.

Fiction book. My favourite character was Tom because he always protected his friends.

When is a shape shifter not a shape shifter? When it's Angelo, sorry, Xerkan, sorry Captain Harman, Sorry King Hugo,.....aaah sorry when it's Xerkan the shape stealer a tricky testing quest awaits Tom and Elenna....

I liked that the beast hands with big claws
Professor Dragon Moonlight 12.08.2023

It was a surprising change of events because the beast is the leader of the order three beast [ Querzol, Krotax and torka.] and it is smarter than the other beasts, and can shapeshift. it was a really fun book to read.

I really liked this book, especially Tom and Ellna. I liked it because it was about defeating the beasts. I definitely recommend this book to other people my age, even if it's a bit scary.

I am a big fan of Beast Quest. I am always recommending them to friends. I enjoyed this one because there are 2 kings Hugos that try to fight each other but Tom realises that one of them is a fake (the beast!).

I thought that xerkan the shape stealer is a really talented beast i just wish he was good. Also i wish that i could shape shift, i reccomend this book to others

I really liked all the battles. Tom was my favourite character. Yes I would recommend it.

I liked Tom and King Hugo. Xerkan is a shape shifter and he turned into Hugo's brother. I liked it because Tom and Elena were tricked by a witch and the witch didn't lead them to their city but to Xerkan (a fake King Arthur). I would recommend it to someone else.
Professor Chesney Sherbet 10.08.2021

I thought the book was really good because the kings brother took the throne and he was actually a beast that they had to defeat. I would recommend it to someone who likes adventures.
Officer Rip Slingshot 05.08.2021

It was a really scary book. I like really scary books.

It was a really good story. This story was a beast that was a shapeshifter that was pretending to be the King Angelo! Tom and his friends had to defeat him and save Avantia! I love the Beast Quest series and recommend to boys age 6+

In this book Tom had to defeat Xerkan and stop a war from raring between Avantians and the Tangalans. I would recommend this book.
