Perfect for fans of fast-paced adventures, The Book of Legends, from comedian Lenny Henry is a laugh-out-loud magical story for 8 -12 year olds, read by the author.
Twins, Bran and Fran, are two ordinary kids who are about to go on an extraordinary adventure! When their mum mysteriously disappears in a lightning strike, just like their dad, the twins are all alone and know they have to stick together – if only to face their new guardian’s terrible cooking! But when their mum’s treasured storybook turns out to be a portal to another world full of mythical legends, everything changes.
Suddenly, evil princes, mud monsters and Viking armies are all very real and out to get them. Luckily, the twins have Wilma, the Wizard’s Wife, and Zachary, a wisecracking Zebracorn, to help them solve the mystery surrounding their parents’ disappearance.
Quests are no joke (but there are lots of jokes in this book) and this is the quest of a lifetime . . .

I liked it because in Ruthvale the stories from the Twins Mum were fairytales but in the land of nine dominions they were true

This book was okay. It was quite funny at times but I struggled to get into it. I liked Fran because she was a very postive and optimistic character and she was always there for her brother.
