Bookroo's summary

Barb, a young Berzerker, faces her greatest challenge: rescuing her fellow warriors from the clutches of the evil Witch Head. With her trusty yeti friend, Porkchop, and a motley crew of unlikely allies, Barb must infiltrate the monster capital, Maug Horn. Their mission is to find Franny Fire Fingers and the Wise Wizards, the only hope against Witch Head's dark power. As Barb confronts dangers beyond her imagination, she discovers that her true strength lies within her heart. Can she harness this power in time to save Bailiwick?

From the publisher

This high-octane and uproariously funny second book “loaded with action and wisecracks” (Kirkus Reviews) follows Barb and her trusty yeti pal, Porkchop, on their quest to rescue her fellow warriors and liberate Bailiwick from the evil villain Witch Head! Barb is a Berzerker, part of an elite crew of warriors who protect the land of Bailiwick from the scourge of monsters. The evil Witch Head has captured all the adult Berzerkers and Barb’s the only one who can save them. But she’s not alone–Barb’s got her own amateur crew of would-be zerks, made up of farmers, monsters, and her best pal Porkchop the yeti. This ragtag gang must infiltrate Maug Horn, the monster capital where only monsters are allowed, and find Franny Fire Fingers, who they hope will lead them to the Wise Wizards and the power to fight Witch Head. But when even the powerful Shadow Blade is no match for the evil Barb encounters, she must learn that her true power comes from her own heart.
