Humor och horror med Besten, Betty och Ebenezer! Om du tar en nypa Dumma mej, en skvätt Roald Dahl och en ganska rejäl tugga Little Shop of Horrors så kommer du ganska nära känslan i den här berättelsen! Ebenezer Tweezer är slät och rosig, men är i själva verket 511 år. På vinden bor en best som ger honom en magisk dryck. Men den är inte gratis. Besten vill varje år ha något speciell att äta …När Ebenezers femhundratolfte födelsedag närmar sig avslöjar besten vad som ska serveras: ett saftigt litet barn! Men så kan man väl inte göra? Eller kan man? Om det är ett riktigt vidrigt litet barn? Som Betty till exempel? Detta är första delen av tre (om inte alla blir uppätna innan det är klart) och en film är redan planerad!

Henrik’s curiosity soon leads him down a dark path, unleashing a chaotic alter ego named Eddie. With Eddie's strength and mischief wreaking havoc in the local town, Henrik must confront the consequences of his reckless actions. Can he learn to control his inner Hyde before it’s too late, or will he succumb to the chaos? And what darkness lurks in the foundations of Jekyll Manor itself?
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 '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 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?
I århundrer har beistet plaget verden. Men nå er det ny meny, og ingen kalde skuldre, for beistet skal slutte å spise uvurderlig kunst, og lilla papepgøyer, og ... kremt ... barn. Ebenezer og Bettina forsøker å hjelpe beistet til å spy opp gode ting, men de er ikke helt vant med denne nye "være snill"-situasjonen de heller. Bettina blir distrahert av en date-som-ikke-er-en-date, og Ebenezer er redd for at sannheten om Bettinas foreldre kan ødelegge alt. Og når beistet får være litt i fred, kravler det plutselig et lite minibeist ut av magen. Grufullt og forferdelig, eller?
Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this "wickedly funny" (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author), deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated middle grade series about a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl. Beauty comes at a price. And no one knows that better than Ebenezer Tweezer, who has stayed beautiful for 511 years. How, you may wonder? Ebenezer simply has to feed the beast in the attic of his mansion. In return for meals of performing monkeys, statues of Winston Churchill, and the occasional cactus, Ebenezer gets potions that keep him young and beautiful, as well as other presents. But the beast grows ever greedier with each meal, and one day he announces that he'd like to eat a nice, juicy child next. Ebenezer has never done anything quite this terrible to hold onto his wonderful life. Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the beast. The child, Bethany, may just be more than Ebenezer bargained for. She's certainly a really rather rude houseguest, but Ebenezer still finds himself wishing she didn't have to be gobbled up after all. Could it be Bethany is less meal-worthy and more...friend-worthy? This delightfully strange paperback boxed set includes: The Beast and the Bethany Revenge of the Beast Battle of the Beast
Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this "fresh game of cat and mouse" (Kirkus Reviews) that's the riotously funny, deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated third book in the middle grade The Beast and the Bethany series in which Bethany and Ebenezer find themselves with a surprising new roommate: the beast itself. After being vanquished in spectacular fashion that included an umbrella with human-puddling capabilities and a darn good show, the beast is transferred to a hidden island and placed in an impenetrable cage where it can no longer hurt anyone or carry out its dastardly plan to make Bethany its next meal. Meaning Bethany and Ebenezer's lives are finally beast free and they can pursue their do-gooding activities in peace--even if the "gooding" part is questionable. But when it's revealed that the beast has lost its memory and D.0. R. R. I. S. declares that it's no longer dangerous, the beast is delivered back where it came from: Ebenezer and Bethany's house. Can the beast really be good? Or, if its newfound manners aren't to be trusted, what could it be planning next?
The book that bites back is BACK! In the fourth beastly book from Jack Meggit-Phillips, the most distinctive new voice for readers of 8-12, there are surprises in store for Bethany about her missing family… For centuries, the beast has tormented the world. But now, there’s a change to a menu, and the beast is going cold turkey – which essentially means eating no priceless works of art . . . or purple parrots . . . or CHILD-SIZED PRANKSTERS. Ebenezer and Bethany are attempting to help the beast vomit some good into the world – even though they really haven’t come anywhere close to managing the business of do-gooding themselves. But Bethany is distracted by her date-not-a-date with Geoffrey, while Ebenezer is worried by a file which reveals a truth about Bethany’s parents that might just ruin life for everyone at the 15-storey house . . . The beast is left to teach itself how to be good. But its impulses can’t be ignored, and all the worst parts of the beast crawl out of the beast’s belly to form a dreadful child. At first the beast is charmed by its ghastly progeny. So clever! So horrible! But to its surprise, it develops something approaching a conscience. When the child finds out the truth about Bethany’s parents and plans to use it against her, can Ebenezer and the beast stop it from destroying Bethany’s hopes and dreams for ever? The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors!
Hirviömäinen yllätys! Riemastuttava sarja reipashenkisestä Helmikistä, tinktuuran voimalla vuosisatoja eläneestä Ebenezeristä ja toiveita toteuttavasta mutta vaarallisesta hirviöstä saa jatkoa kolmannessa kirjassa. Hirviö piti Ebenezer Pinsetiä otteessaan 511 vuotta ja yritti kahteen otteeseen syödä Helmikin, mutta nyt se on visusti telkien takana... tai oli. Ystävystemme yllätykseksi maailman inhottavin olio on taas vapaana ja se on palannut Ebenezerin ullakolle. Mutta hirviöpä ei ole enää entinen itsensä - se kujertelee kaikille ja puklaa upeita lahjoja naapureille. Onko hirviö voinut oikeasti muuttua... ööh, kiltiksi?” Jos Roald Dahlin tarinat puhuttelevat, kannattaa tarttua myös näihin herkkupaloihin - parasta tuoretta lastenkirjallisuutta.” @lukuliekkiJack Meggitt-Phillips on lontoolainen kirjailija, joka kirjoittaa myös näytelmiä ja juontaa podcastia.

He would feed the beast all manner of objects and creatures and in return the beast would vomit him up expensive presents. But then the Bethany arrived. Now notorious prankster Bethany, along with her new feathery friend Claudette, is determined that she and Ebenezer are going to de-beast their lives and Do Good. But Bethany finds that being a former prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer secretly misses the beast's vomity gifts. And neither of them is all that sure what "good people" do anyway. Then there's Claudette, who's not been feeling herself recently. Has she eaten something that has disagreed with her?

Det kalder folk ”bedstevenner” og kaster fine gaver op til naboerne. Bethany er dybt foruroliget. Er bæstet pludselig blevet … flinkt?
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

Tästedes Helmikki ja Ebenezer keskittyisivät tekemään pelkkää hyvää. Mutta sepä ei olekaan helppoa entiselle kepposten kuningattarelle. Ebenezer taas haikailee hirviön puklaamia aarteitaan, ja Claudette voi omituisen huonosti...

Boken som biter tillbaka är tillbaka!512 år gamla Ebenezer Tweezer har haft en best på sin vind, ett monster som försett honom med rikedomar och evig ungdom i utbyte mot sällsynt exklusiva och levande måltider. Den senast beställda måltiden, (barnet) Betty, satte dock stopp för den rysliga byteshandeln ... Nu försöker Betty, hennes fjädriga vän Colette och Ebenezer att avbestifiera sina liv och i stället göra gott. Men Bettys förflutna som bråkstake gör det svårt för henne att bli litad på, och i hemlighet saknar Ebenezer bestens gåvor. Dessutom är ingen av dem helt säkra på vad ”goda människor” egentligen gör. Samtidigt börjar Colette må lite konstigt, men hon har säkert bara ätit något fruktansvärt …Humor och horror är nyckelorden i den här serien om Betty, Besten och Ebenezer. Ta en nypa "Dumma mej", en kopp Roald Dahl och en skvätt "Little Shop of Horrors" så får du en smak av den här bokserien. "Besten och Betty: Bestens hämnd" är del två av tre. Läs också: "Besten och Betty", den första delen i serien, som även är planerad att komma som film. Sagt om boken: "Dramatiken är mycket fängslande och handlingens tempo är högt uppdrivet. I berättelsen finns också mänsklig klokhet, god människokännedom och en human humor som i positiv mening påminner om Roald Dahls i dennes ljusa stunder." / Bibliotekstjänst, Jan Hansson, BTJ-häfte nr 7, 2022
