Bookroo's summary

In Skulladune, Barb and Porkchop face a brutal contest manipulated by a shapeshifter seeking the Ghost Blade. As they navigate a sewer labyrinth and battle an evil cube, their friendship is tested. Can they unite against the sinister force, or will the competition drive them apart?

From the publisher

Barb and Porkchop fight in a cutthroat competition in this action-packed and uproariously funny fourth book in the Barb the Last Berzerker middle grade graphic novel series perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Dog Man. With the war between the humans and monsters finally over, the Berzerkers are now fighting to preserve the fragile peace in the land of Bailiwick. When Barb and Porkchop arrive in the city of Skulladune, they find monsters and people at each other’s throats over the silliest things and do their best to shut the conflict down. But there’s a sinister shapeshifting force at work who seeks to possess the Ghost Blade, and she manipulates Barb into entering Skulladune’s notoriously brutal contest to become the city’s marshal and then tricks Porkchop into entering, too. Soon, the Berzerker and the yeti are facing an evil gelatinous cube, a sewer labyrinth, an epic sausage-eating contest, and more. Can the best friends find a way to work together, or will they be forced to take each other out?
