I was lucky to have my wish granted by Netgalley to read The Beast and The Bethany by Jack Meggitt-Phillips and Isabel Follath. I ended up buying a physical copy as I was very intrigued and I was not disappointed. We are following Ebenezer Tweezer who could be described as a bad man who has secrets which he is hiding but I am not going to say what they are as that would spoil this wonderful Middle Grade Book. One day Ebenezer meets his match in the naughtiness department when he brings home Bethany from the Orphanage. At first Ebenezer can' t stand Bethany and vice versa but over time they become closer to each other. I found this book full of gruesome humour and it reminded me a lot of Roald Dahl's writing style and kids will really love this book. I know there is a sequel coming out in 2021 and I can't wait to see what happens. So for these reasons I am giving it 4 stars
