Timo the Adventurer (Timo the Adventurer, Bk. 1)

Having read every book in his tiny village, Timo feels he is fully prepared to become a hero, so he sets off to find adventure. His journey is less straightforward than expected though. When he explores a deserted temple and rescues the gruff Broof - an enchanted beast with a mysterious past - Timo sets in motion an adventure bigger and more perilous than any he'd ever dreamed of . . .
