Hi Folks!!!
I’m so excited about today’s post!! It’s the first day of the ulitmate blog tour for the fab sequel The Beast and the Bethany: Revenge of the Beast by Jack Meggitt-Phillips with The_WriteReads and the gang!!
So, here’s some exciting details about the book, the author plus my thoughts on the book!!
Format: eBook/paperback
Publisher: Farshore
Genres: Middle Grade
Published: 30th September 2021
Synopsis/Blurb:
Once upon a very badly behaved time, 511-year-old Ebenezer kept a beast in his attic. He would feed the beast all manner of objects and creatures and in return the beast would vomit him up expensive presents. But then the Bethany arrived.
Now notorious prankster Bethany, along with her new feathery friend Claudette, is determined that she and Ebenezer are going to de-beast their lives and Do Good. But Bethany finds that being a former prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer secretly misses the beast’s vomity gifts. And neither of them are all that sure what “good people” do anyway.
Then there’s Claudette, who’s not been feeling herself recently. Has she eaten something that has disagreed with her?
About the Author:
Jack Meggitt Phillips is an incredibly exciting new talent. He is an author, scriptwriter and playwright whose work has been performed at The Roundhouse and featured on Radio 4. He is scriptwriter and presenter of The History of Advertising podcast. In his mind, Jack is an enormously talented ballroom dancer, however his enthusiasm far surpasses his actual talent. Jack lives in north London where he spends most of his time drinking peculiar teas and reading PG Wodehouse novels.
My Thoughts:
Revenge of the Beast was another fun and entertaining read that I couldn’t wait to pick up, especially haven’t loved the first book The Beast and the Bethany. It continues where the first book ends and we follow Bethany and Ebenezer as they try to adjust to life without the beast. However, things don’t quite go to plan as the Beast is about to make a return for revenge!
Like the first book this is well written and just as entertaining. It was nice to see characters from the first book make an appearance as well as seeing some new ones. I have to admit I did struggle with Bethany’s character a little in this book. I found her to be quite annoying especially in the first few chapters. In the first book I wasn’t too sure about Ebenezer’s character but in this one we get to learn about Ebenezer early years and how he came to be acquainted with the Beast. Also, in this book Ebenezer had been gifted with empathy, which makes him a much more likeable character, and one that I ended up loving.
Now although this is a great sequel and loved reading it I think I did enjoy the first book slightly more. None the less still a fab read and can’t wait for the next book (Hope there is one)!
Highly recommended!
