What is Child of the beast about?
Ebenezer and Bethany have promised to help the beast do some good in the world, but becoming do-gooders is harder than they expected. While Bethany is distracted by a very complicated date-not-a-date with Geoffrey, Ebenezer discovers a mysterious file about Bethany’s missing parents. The truth could change everything they know about their unusual family and put the residents of the fifteen-storey house in terrible danger. As secrets emerge, the friends must face the beast’s past—and its alarming future.
