ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
'Reads like a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original - I thought this
was brilliant' - Sam Copeland, author of the bestselling *Charlie
Changes into a Chicken
*
'What a FEAST! A funny and (bone) cracking good read' - Michelle
Harrison, bestselling author of A Pinch of Magic
Major film deal announced with Warner Brothers and Harry Potter and
Fantastic Beasts producer, David Heyman.
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 . . .
