The most exciting new children's book of 2020 and a modern classic in the making. The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors! This book should be on every little monster's birthday and Christmas list.
Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful. But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan . . .

Based on the hit Netflix series, join Hilda and Twig for more
hilarious adventures in the illustrated fiction series. We rejoin
our favourite blue-haired heroine Hilda to find her caught up in a
crisis in Trolberg. Ships are vanishing from the harbour and no one
knows why. Could the answer lie out on Cauldron Island? Meanwhile,
David suspects wild weather predictor Victoria Van Gale is up to no
good as she moves into the old windmill. There is no shortage of
unexpected twists, turns and new friends in this latest instalment
of the Hilda fiction series.
For fans of Natalie Haynes, Kiran Millwood-Hargrave and Neil Gaiman
comes Frances Hardinge's spectacular new novel Unraveller. Called
her 'best yet' by the Guardian, and 'sheer perfection' and 'a
masterpiece' by reviewers, Hardinge expertly weaves together
mythology and mystery in a meticulously-detailed world besieged by
curses. If you must travel to the country of Raddith, then be
prepared. Bring a mosquito net for the lowlands, and a warm coat
for the hills or mountains. If you mean to visit the misty
marsh-woods known as the Wilds, you will need stout, waterproof
boots. (You will also needs wits, courage and luck, but some things
cannot be packed.) You have of course heard that some people in
Raddith are able to curse their enemies. It sounded so picturesque
when you were reading about it at home, like a fairytale. Perhaps
you will decide that all the stories of the Wilds and the Raddith
cursers were invented to entertain tourists. And at night, when you
see a many-legged shape scuttle across the ceiling of your
bedchamber, you will tell yourself that it is a spider, and only a
spider . . . . . . It is not. In a world where anyone can create
life-destroying curses, only one person has the power to unravel
them. Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but uses it to
help those who have been cursed, including his ally and closest
friend, Nettle. But Kellen himself is cursed, and unless he and
Nettle can release him, he is in danger of unravelling everything -
and everyone - around him. ----- 'Exquisite . . . sheer
perfection'- Liz Hyder 'Brilliant' - The Guardian 'A gloriously
creepy, intricate masterpiece' - Adrian Tchaikovsky 'Dark and
delicious' - Katherine Rundell 'Spellbinding' - Katherine Woodfine
'Instantly engrossing, effortlessly clever, and completely magical'
- Freya Marske 'Mesmerising' - Hilary McKay 'Everyone should read
Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' - Patrick Ness
