Urgum the Axeman Kjartan Poskitt and Reeve,Philip

**Urgum the Axeman - Hilarious Viking Mayhem for Young Readers!**

Meet Urgum, the most wonderfully incompetent barbarian warrior you'll ever encounter! This riotous children's adventure follows our hapless hero as he bumbles through the savage lands, wielding his trusty axe with more enthusiasm than skill. Written by the brilliant duo Kjartan Poskitt (Murderous Maths fame) and Philip Reeve (Mortal Engines mastermind), this comedy-adventure perfectly balances slapstick humor with genuine heart.

Themes of friendship, perseverance, and finding courage when you least expect it shine through the gloriously chaotic plot. Perfect for reluctant readers aged 8-12 who love their heroes flawed, funny, and refreshingly human. The witty writing and laugh-out-loud moments make this fantasy-comedy a proper page-turner.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure!
