Revenge of the Beast by Jack Meggitt-Phillips
5.0
I had serious doubts that book two Revenge of the Beast would match my love of book one. I should have known Jack Meggitt-Phillips wouldn’t let me down. Revenge of the Beast lived up to all my expectations.
Bethany is determined to become a “Do-Gooder” if she only knew what that meant. She has a difficult time with the concept as her favorite things in life are pranking people, causing havoc, and shouting “Bog Off.”
511-year-old- Ebeneezer has serious issues with de-beasting and becoming a better person. He is going to miss all his beastly gifts.
In this tale, the beast is back to exact revenge on all who have wronged him. Along the way we are entertained with witty sarcasm, fantastic scenarios, and a fascinating world pulled from the author’s incredible mind. How absolutely gushing of me! I hope this doesn’t turn the beast’s attention on me!
The author weaves a few darker themes throughout the story. I was saddened knowing the way people can ill-treat their children, friends, and acquaintances. But I gained hope by the end of the tale that do-gooders can prevail. If you are reading this book with middle-graders, it provides many opportunities for conversation.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the illustrations created by Sabelle Follath. They positively bring the story to life.
I can not wait to read the next book, The Mind of the Beast coming later in 2022.
