The Beast Audiobook (Unabridged)

A gripping and original new young adult book set to become a monster hit.

In the caged depths of an urban reservoir lives a monstrous creature. Its existence is unknown to anyone except the teenage boy who feeds it. Six years ago it was a vicious little baby, now it has grown enormous, and its rusting pen can't hold it much longer. Stephen has kept the Beast a secret against all the odds. He's got other painful secrets - like why he never sees his mother, or mentions his brother, Selby, and wishes his father was dead.

Stephen's life in foster care - always bad - is getting worse, and he's not a boy who plays by the rules. But his extraordinary efforts to free himself of the Beast make him a hero that readers will never forget. This thrilling teenage novel, which presents physical and psychological danger with masterful skill, and human relationships with warmth and wit, launches the career of an outstanding new writer.

"Second time I've read it. Wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered the first time. YES! Tense, short read, "stream of consciousness" style of teen boy with a troubled past. His thoughts are up and down; he is trying to fight against becoming like his dad. Excellent."
