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?
