Bethany, her friend Ebenezer Tweezer and, of course, the magical beast he keeps in his attic, have starred in four deliciously gruesome stories to date and it’s frankly devastating to read that this is the last in the series.
Bethany and co do not let readers down however, and this grand finale is a tour de force. With (secret) preparations underway for Ebenezer’s 513th birthday and a very special party, Bethany also has to deal with her father, not dead in a fire after all, and claiming to have only her best interests at heart.
Who should Bethany trust? Will the party go ahead, even in the face of attack by killer ravens? Everything that makes this series so special is contained here, including some truly outrageous behaviour, from man and beast, extremely funny moments and witty lines, as well as – strange as this may sound – a true sense of family spirit.
The best thing to do when you reach the final page, is to turn to book one in the series, and start reading all over again. Reading fun doesn’t come more beastly than this.

About
The Beast and the Bethany: The Final Feast Synopsis
The nation's favourite blended beastly family is BACK for the fifth and FINAL book of the series from multiple award-winning author Jack Meggitt-Phillips.
Ebenezer Tweezer has spent the best part of 512 years doing whatever he wanted, but that all changed when he met Bethany - a rude, snotty-nosed prankster. Ebenezer has come to care for this strange, slightly smelly little scowler more than he has cared about anyone or anything before.
It's just as well, because when this story begins, Bethany needs a friend. She has just discovered that her parents Augustus and Gemima were dreadful criminals before they died in an only slightly more dreadful fire.
Except - it seems her father did NOT die at all. Augustus returns to Bethany's life, begging for Bethany's help to clear his name and show him how to live a life that is free from crime.
As the action barrels towards celebrations for Ebenezer's 513th birthday, Ebenezer, Miss Muddle and Geoffrey have to figure out Augustus' true motives for coming back into Bethany's life. Can they show Bethany the true meaning of family, before it's too late?
