MS, HS –ESSENTIAL 

Fairy-Tale retellings are being published by the hundreds these days, however author Alex Flinn has presented teens with a truly unique retelling of a most loved fairytale. . .Beauty and the Beast. Built upon the skeleton of the original (non-Disney) story, Flinn moves the story to modern day New York City and has the Beast to narrate the story. This is a must have for all libraries!
