Once Ella is the prisoner of her evil stepmother - then suddenly she is in a room that is not her own, with a father who is not hers either. But this father needs help, because his daughter Belle is missing and he is in trouble with a beast who lives in a mysterious castle. Meanwhile, Belle may think she is clever, but she can’t seem to outwit this stepmother who is determined to have Belle be her new slave, since Ella is now missing.
The best thing to do is to completely forget the stories as you know them and buy into the timelines. When the girls’ stories collide, Bussing varies widely from the original, or even the Disney tales. Once I surrendered, I enjoyed them much more. Both girls are very resourceful and courageous.
