Hello and welcome to the Fun Kids Book Quest Podcast, my name is Bex. I love books and I've got some brilliant ones on the way for you today, plus some brilliant authors as well. Sophie Anderson's gonna be here, you may know her from her big, big famous book The House with Chicken Legs, but first it's Jack Meggett Phillips. Now he's the author of the Beast
and the Bethany series, but today he brings us Jekyll vs. Hyde, The Potion of Doom, a brand new funny adventure following a very spoiled Henrik Jekyll becoming his alter and ego Eddie Hyde. Henrik raised the beaker to his lips, just like Dr Jekyll had done so long ago. He scrunched

He de-scrunched his eyes and looked into the long, cracked laboratory mirror, only to be greeted by his own unchanged reflection. Is that it? he said, crossly. Then he felt a twist in the pit of his stomach.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (20 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
