Beauty and the Beast, the Only One Who Didn't Run Away

When you’re 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 you’re a prince, you’re 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 you’ll ever be.

But when Beauty’s 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 you’ve never heard it before.
