Ebenezer Tweezer, a youthful 511-year-old, keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion. He feeds the beast 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 that keep him young and beautiful. However, the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do.
When Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan. In fact, neither Ebenezer nor the beast have any idea what they are in for with a child like Bethany.
"Quiero que me traigas otra cosa de comer… Y es algo que no he probado nunca hasta ahora," the beast demands of Ebenezer, who is now faced with a complicated situation.
This book, "The Beast and the Bethany," has been described as a modern classic, sharp, funny, and original, with a "feast" of a story that provides a "funny and (bone) cracking good read." It has the classic macabre humor of Roald Dahl, combined with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, and a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors.
The most exciting new children's book of 2020, and a potential modern classic in the making, "The Beast and the Bethany" is a must-read for every little monster's birthday and Christmas list. With a major film deal announced with Warner Brothers and Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts producer, David Heyman, this book is sure to captivate readers of all ages.
Readers are cautioned, however, that this book "BITES." So approach with caution, and be prepared for a thrilling, hilarious, and unforgettable adventure.
