What is this?

Beastly by Alex Flinn
Who doesn’t love the story of Beauty and the Beast? A horrible creature brought to the light by a young, innocent girl who can see past the horror of his appearance…how romantic. But oftentimes, things are more complicated than they first appear. In Alex Flinn’s modern-day telling of Beauty and the Beast, hot Kyle Kingsbury gets the surprise of his life when he finds himself transformed into a horrid beast after an unfortunate dance experience. Kyle has two years to find somebody he loves and who loves him back if he is ever going to return to his original human state. The castle? An apartment in New York City where his newscaster-father hides him for shame of his appearance. The girl? Lindy, who is offered up by her drug addict father when “the beast” catches him loafing about. In a spell-binding story, Alex Flinn brings in several characters who slowly help Kyle to see the magic that can be found in kindness and an object as simple as a rose. A great read for those who enjoy fairytales, and of course, happy endings. Recommended for grades 9 and up.
