ivyldc 's review for:

The Beast and the Bethany by Jack Meggitt-Phillips

4.0

---

This hilarious Middlegrade book features a 3 eyed monster who eats well, everything, and his handler/enabler, Ebenezer Tweezer. When the beast decides it wants to eat a child, Ebenezer finds the nastiest, naughtiest one he can at the local orphanage. Ebenezer just needs to fatten Bethany up for a few days before the beast eats her. That is just enough time for the two to start to understand each other and devise a plan to get rid of the beast. This is a funny, entertaining read with shades of Rosld Dahl.
