Overview
Beast Quest by Adam Blade returns with this Series 5: The Shade of Death paperback collection for kids ages 6-9 (Grades 1-4) ready for their first fantasy-adventure chapter books. Young hero Tom battles a fresh lineup of monstrous beasts and treacherous terrain across five self-contained quests. Short chapters and battle-ready pacing keep reluctant readers turning pages, while illustrations add visual excitement. It's a natural next step after early readers and a dependable pick for gifts or classroom libraries.

About the Book
Beast Quest has spent nearly two decades pulling young readers into the kingdom of Avantia, where a boy named Tom is charged with freeing magical beasts from dark enchantments. This Series 5 arc, The Shade of Death, continues that mission with new monsters and dangers in the same fast, accessible style the series is known for. Each book follows a formula young readers can rely on: a beast to free, a villain pulling the strings, and a countdown of danger Tom must outwit using courage and the magical golden armor he collects piece by piece. Short chapters, plenty of white space, and simple sentences make these books approachable for kids stepping up from early readers, while battles and last-second escapes keep the pace brisk. Illustrations scattered throughout add visual interest. This five-book set slots into the broader saga as a self-contained stretch of quests, letting new readers jump in while longtime fans keep building their collection.
