Beauty
A retelling of the story of the Beaty and the Beast.
Sixteen-year-old Beauty has never liked her nickname. Thin, awkward, and undersized, with big hands and huge feet, she has always thought of herself as the plainest girl in her family — certainly not as lovely as her elder sisters, Hope and Grace. But what she lacks in looks, she makes up for in courage. When her father come home one day with the strange tale of an enchanted castle in the wood and the terrible promise he has made to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows what she must do. She must go to the castle and tame Beast — if such a thing is possible...
Here is the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple: Beauty... and the Beast.
