The book that bites back is BACK! In the fourth beastly book from
Jack Meggit-Phillips, the most distinctive new voice for readers of
8-12, there are surprises in store for Bethany about her missing
family… For centuries, the beast has tormented the world. But
now, there’s a change to a menu, and the beast is going cold
turkey – which essentially means eating no priceless works of art
. . . or purple parrots . . . or CHILD-SIZED PRANKSTERS. Ebenezer
and Bethany are attempting to help the beast vomit some good into
the world – even though they really haven’t come anywhere close
to managing the business of do-gooding themselves. But Bethany is
distracted by her date-not-a-date with Geoffrey, while Ebenezer is
worried by a file which reveals a truth about Bethany’s parents
that might just ruin life for everyone at the 15-storey house . . .
The beast is left to teach itself how to be good. But its impulses
can’t be ignored, and all the worst parts of the beast crawl out
of the beast’s belly to form a dreadful child. At first the beast
is charmed by its ghastly progeny. So clever! So horrible! But to
its surprise, it develops something approaching a conscience. When
the child finds out the truth about Bethany’s parents and plans
to use it against her, can Ebenezer and the beast stop it from
destroying Bethany’s hopes and dreams for ever? 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!
