— Kirkus Reviews
(STARRED REVIEW)
Carnegie Medal-winning children’s author Geraldine McCaughrean offers a heroic retelling of the
world’s oldest written epic
Gilgamesh and Enkidu are friends — best friends. Together they can work wonders, fight monsters, brave earthquakes, travel the world! But waiting in the dark is the one enemy they can never overcome.
The tale of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest stories in the world, ripe with themes that are as current today as they were during the story’s inception around 2000 BC.: friendship, fame, courage, by award-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean, and illustrated with great power by David Parkins, Gilgamesh the Hero is a story that will linger in the imagination long after the book has been put down.
