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!

The third beastly book in the deliciously gruesome and hilarious
series by Jack Meggitt-Phillips, perfect for little beasts aged
8-12. 'Reads like a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original - I
thought this was brilliant', Sam Copeland, bestselling author of
Charlie Changes into a Chicken on The Beast and the Bethany The
beast, who has tried to eat Bethany twice and controlled Ebenezer
Tweezer for 511 years, is now in prison. Even better, it seems to
have lost its despicable mind and is pinky-winky promising to be a
do-gooding beast, vomit out helpful gifts, and be besties with
Bethany and Ebenezer. There's really no sign of the old beast at
all any more, as long as you don't count that hungry belly which
still needs feeding... Outrageously funny and deliciously dark,
this series is perfect for readers aged 8-12 and fans of Roald Dahl
and Lemony Snicket
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 . . .

a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original - I thought this was
brilliant', Sam Copeland, bestselling author of Charlie Changes
