About this deal

I don't often get the opportunity to enjoy illustrations, much less talk about them, so that makes these all the more special. It opens on a scene introducing two of the main characters, Ebenezer Tweezer and Bethany and instantly letting me know who they are and how they are as characters. I will try not to spoil this book because as with lots of Children's books, the plot isn't wide and the story is really focused on the outcome. This story is very heartwarming at its core, and the characters are endearingly flawed to a point where any other ending to this story would not work. The thing is, The Beast has peculiar tastes—monkeys, cacti, Ebenezer's beloved cat, endangered species, and so on.

Then again, can someone who’s planning on feeding his houseguest to a monster really make judgments?

A book review for avid readers of The Beast and the Bethany series Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old.Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the beast. My oldest will be reading The Picture of Dorian Gray in school this year and I’m adding The Beast and the Bethany to his curriculum.

Their arrangement is simple: Ebenezer feeds the beast whatever it requests, and the beast vomits forth anything Ebenezer desires.

That's a shame—if that's true for the hard copy, I'd recommend getting a magnifying lens, so you can take in the detail. Throw in a backstory worthy of Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Ebenezer Tweezer turns out to be a character that could become a favorite after a re-read or two.Bethany’s surly, sarcastic antics immediately make Ebenezer’s life less than pleasurable, but the beast refuses to sup upon a scrawny child. Ebenezer Tweezer has to find a child for the beast to eat and decides to go to the orphanage where he spots Bethany, the most annoying child there.

The point is that she's an ill-mannered bully, and that if Ebenezer had to pick a child to feed to the monster, you can certainly grant that she'd make a worthy nominee. The publisher said the book is about a shallow man named Ebenezer Tweezer “and his friendship with an incredibly naughty girl named Bethany, and the prospect of at least one of them getting eaten by the beast in the attic. The language is simple and snappy, and the book is a quick read, though the concepts are most understood and appreciated by the slightly older crowd.

The narration was phenomenal, and I was instantly hooked by the descriptions and details Phillips threw this rich book.

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. I think it's pretty clear that I liked The Beast and the Bethany—I've certainly talked enough about it. The story-line is also interesting and different where you really don’t know how Bethany will help Ebenezer and get rid of the Beast.
