Jekyll vs Hyde: The Potion of Doom by Jack Meggitt-Phillips

This was one of my most anticipated proofs so I was overjoyed to get a copy! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished version, I bet the illustrations are amazing.

If the Beast and Ebenezer Tweezer created a child together, it would be Henrik. Beastier than the Beast, and more self-centred than Ebenezer (if that's possible) but with none of their charm. His actual parents may not like each other but they are devoted to him and spend all their time trying to prove who loves him most.

Dr Jekyll leaves the house to Henrik, giving him access to whole load more chaos, particularly the laboratory with all it's creepy jars and medical implements. Is the house sentient, will Henrik finally make a friend, and who exactly is Lady Deadlock??? What a twist! And then another twist! I would really love for this to be a series.

Book Summary

In a whimsical twist on the classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by RL Stevenson, spoiled young Henrik Jekyll has been left his ancestor Dr Jekyll’s house, laboratory, and ― most importantly ― secret, life-altering Hyde Potion recipe. Henrik’s curiosity soon leads him down a dark path, unleashing a chaotic alter ego named Eddie. With Eddie's strength and mischief wreaking havoc in the local town, Henrik must confront the consequences of his reckless actions. Can he learn to control his inner Hyde before it’s too late, or will he succumb to the chaos? And what darkness lurks in the foundations of Jekyll Manor itself?

I've created the Eddie Hyde cocktail. In a tall glass, add 30ml vodka, 10ml blue curacao, 10ml lemon juice, 60ml Lemonade. Add a sprinkle of sparkling gunpowder*. Add 3 or 4 cubes of ice and stir then top up with tonic. Make sure to stir carefully so the gunpowder doesn't explode!
