<strong>PRAISE FOR THE SERIES</strong>
</p>
<p>'Witty and entertaining', <em>The Sunday Times</em></p>
<p>'Reads like a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original – I thought this was brilliant', Sam Copeland, bestselling author of <em>Charlie Changes into a Chicken</em></p>
<p>'What a FEAST! A funny and (bone) cracking good read', Michelle Harrison, bestselling author of <em>A Pinch of Magic</em></p>
<p>‘A devilishly delicious delight', <em>iNews</em></p>
<p>‘Fans of <em>Despicable Me</em> and <em>A Series of Unfortunate Events</em> will love this brand-new series’ – funkidslive.com</p>
<p>"Now THAT was a rollercoaster of a book, and totally NOT what I expected in all the best ways! I flippin’ LOVED this cracking tale of absolute chaos, comedy and commotion. The beast couldn’t be on better form, and I can’t wait to read more of its misadventures with Git-face, I mean, Ebenezer and Bethany. And that epilogue . . . now I’m HUNGRY for the next juicy-woosie tale of the reluctant do-gooder, the ex-prankster and the 511 year old man in his favourite waistcoat!" Laura Ellen Anderson</p>
<p>‘Writing one classic would be enough for most authors. Two is a delightful bonus. Writing three is just showing off. Jack Meggitt-Phillips is such a gitface. Annoyingly, <em>Battle Of The Beast</em> might even be the best of the lot . . .’ Ian Mark</p>
<p>‘I flipping loved it. Mischievous, wildly imaginative and full of characters you really care about. The ending has a brilliant twist and now I desperately want to eat an egg containing a blueberry cheesecake.’ Jenny McLachlan</p>

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 notorious prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer is secretly missing 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? The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors!
