description: Wendy Mass tells the story of Beauty and the Beast as never heard before!When youre stuck with the name Beauty people expect a lot from you  like beauty and grace and courage and a sense of style. But what if you have none of these things? What if all you like to do is read books and search for odd objects that other people drop? Oh and you have a perfect older sister who really should have had your name instead of you.And when youre a prince youre supposed to be athletic and commanding and brave and tall. But what if you are none of those things? What if all you like to do is play the bagpipes (badly) study the stars and try to figure out how to make worms live forever? Oh and you also have a perfect older brother who is a lot more princely than youll ever be.But when Beautys life turns completely upside down and she is forced to head out into the world she has to figure out just who she wants to be. And when Prince Riley suddenly grows fur and nails as sharp as sticks he has to learn that appearances can be deceiving. Before Beauty and Riley can save each other they have to save themselves.So journey back to the time when fairy tales were real and discover the story of Beauty and the Beast like youve never heard it before.
