The Beast

Four close friends begin a search for the mysterious ‘beast’ in a dark and spooky wilderness, but little do they know that they’ll discover much more about themselves on this beautifully bleak young adult adventure. Love, danger, and the depths of the soul – it’s all here, and all part of this tale of wonder and friendship. Inspired by the iconic world heritage sit of Horton Plains in beautiful, wild Sri Lanka, Jude Perera has conjured a gripping tale of childhood mystery and legendary beasts that will transport the reader into a magical land of escapism and excitement.
