About the Author
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father's paintings of historic English battles - which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father's office. Adam's father said they were a Blade family heirloom. As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character - Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born. When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas - until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age... And still does, even though he's grown up! When he's not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets - a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest - Arachnid and Claw. Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Submitted for Jay (age 6.5), July 11 2011
By NYC Family - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arax the Soul Stealer (Paperback)
The book is good. The Beast Quest books are interesting because a 12 year old boy fights a mean beast and the 12 year old boy wins.The main characters are Tom, a swordman, Elenna, Tom's companion, Ferno, a fire dragon, and Arax, a man-bat and a soul stealer. When Arax takes someone's soul they turn evil. The book is scary because Arax takes Elenna, but Tom saves her. Arax also takes Aduro, a good wizard's, soul.
Tom fought Nemico his evil double. Nemico was falling on the cliff but Tom tried to save him. Tom did not even want his evil self to die.
My favorite part was when Tom chopped off Arax's horn. Arax is a little bit less powerful than other beasts because he has a whip and nothing else. Other beasts have poison, fire, and turning to stone. This book is a pretty good Beast Quest book but not the best like Tusk, Vipero, Cypher, or Kaymon.
