The third beastly book in the deliciously gruesome and hilarious series by Jack Meggitt-Phillips, perfect for little beasts aged 8-12.

'Reads like a modern classic. Sharp, funny, original – I thought this was brilliant', Sam Copeland, bestselling author of Charlie Changes into a Chicken on The Beast and the Bethany

The beast, who has tried to eat Bethany twice and controlled Ebenezer Tweezer for 511 years, is now in prison.

Even better, it seems to have lost its despicable mind and is pinky-winky promising to be a do-gooding beast, vomit out helpful gifts, and be besties with Bethany and Ebenezer.

There’s really no sign of the old beast at all any more, as long as you don’t count that hungry belly which still needs feeding…

Outrageously funny and deliciously dark, this series is perfect for readers aged 8-12 and fans of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket

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.

Reviews for BATTLE OF THE BEAST

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 '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, Battle Of The Beast might even be the best of the lot . . .' Ian Mark '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
