This was a damn cute book, the writing style was immersive and really whimsical. I found myself getting lost in the writing style.
The Illustrations are damn good, they capture cute as as well as weird moments perfectly and the artist captured facial expressions perfectly.
Talking about the plot
We start with meeting Ebenezer Tweezer and the beast and we a glimpse of what kind of creature the beast it, he is an evil, greedy and hungry grey blog monster and we also get to know what sort of person Ebenezer is and the story begins. When the beast asks Ebenezer thathe wishes to eat a child in exchange of the youth potion, Ebenezer sets out to obtain a child to feed the beast and in comes Bethany.
This was a very whimsical story, at the beginning you could see how different both the main characters were, Bethany is a poor, orphan who used being mean as a defense mechanism whereas Ebenezer is a rich, spoiled brat who never had to work for a day in his life.
When their worlds collide, sparks fly between the undisciplined Bethany and kinda oblivious Ebenezer but through the story you see both of them grow, they find a friend in each other and connect in a way that they haven’t with anyone and I loved reading about that.
My favorite part of the book was seeing how adopting a child changed Ebenezer from a brat to an actual human being and how Bethany went from keeping people away to letting someone into her life. Both the characters had a very positive influence on each other and I adored them so much.
The ending of the book did get quite intense, it had me at the edge of my seat of my seat wondering what was gonna happen to the characters and I adored the way it ended.
But the ending left the story open and set it up for a sequel, hopefully.
Overall, this was a very cute story with great characters, a good plot, some awesome character development and growth and a few magical sequences and I had a fun time reading it, I legit finished it in one sitting.
I would recommend this book to anyone look for a quick to read middle grade fantasy with a good and important message, I would recommend picking this up.
