The Beast and the Bethany by Jack Meggitt-Phillips
4.0
Such a fun book. To me, it had the same magical feelings as The House on the Cerulean Sea and A Man Called Ove. Just really enjoyable.
LIKES:
1) having no idea what it was about and being sucked in immediately! That’s a talent, since I’ve been in a moody slump
2) shockingly enough Ebenezer and Bethany. Their relationship was so awkward and cute and redemptive.
3) all the magic. I just loved how it was totally normal to have this beast, to be 500+ years old, and to leave in that giant home. No one batted an eye.
4) the true bad people got what they deserved and I didn’t feel bad about it at all
5) there is more! What a fun way to end and get us ready to start the next one immediately!
DISLIKES:
1) I can’t really think of one, it was a solid middle grade book.
This is definitely a book I’d put in my class. In fact I spoke to my students about on Friday and they were all excited to find out what happened next! Thank you libro.fm for having the ALC Educators program. I have gotten some of the most beautiful middle grade and ya books through this program!
