Product Information

Colour in some of the adorable illustrations from Amazing Mum by Alison Brown and give to someone special! Thereafter Ebenezer has become disassociated from what he must do to sustain his source of wealth, good looks and prestige. Bethany en Peregrinus nemen je mee in hun verhaal en leren je hoe je volwassen beslissingen moet nemen. A friendship buds between them and he has to chose between death and giving his friend to the beast.

It’s a bit predictable where the story is heading or how the characters will evolve by the end of the book but it’s still amazing going through the journey, seeing them develop feelings. I loved the whole structure of this book and the illustrations in this book were just great and so much fun. Heyman is currently in pre-production on the third installment in the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” series. The debut middle-grade novel, which has been described as “Lemony Snicket meets Dorian Gray,” is slated for spring 2021.Straightforward, third-person narration from Ebenezer’s perspective neither preaches nor condescends, and a tight focus on titular characters makes pages fly by. Until—and this is the key—until she's shown some kindness (unintentionally, sure, but that's not important). The beast started as a small creature but over the years he mithered Ebenezer to bring him food in exchange for gifts which he would vomit up, plus he also provides him with a special potion to keep him looking young.

There are several twists to shake up your emotions while changing your idea of just where the story is headed. I liked that I felt as if I spent as much time with the side characters as with the main characters, which is impossible because most of the scenes only feature Ebenezer, Bethany and the beast.And as the wonderful Charlotte does die, the sadness is tempered by the promise of more spiders next spring. As a parent, I just wanted to hug her and give her the love that a cruel twist of fate stole from her at a tender young age. The tale is so funny and silly with interesting moments with the Beast and I really enjoyed how things develop between Ebenezer and Bethany. Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this riotously funny, deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated tale of a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl who doesn’t know she’s about to be eaten. This is an obvious proof that conscience is something which a person can never lack, it is there always just obscured by a darker side sometimes.
