Here is a modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast," set in an American high school. Dylan is only fifteen, but he is already six and a half feet tall and nearing three hundred pounds of solid muscle. Plus he's covered in body hair! No wonder the kids call him "The Beast!"
That's a good beginning, right? I was prepared for a cute girl to befriend the beast and for him to learn to love, et cetera. But this story is a little different. I'm still not sure if I'm on board with it.
In the middle of the book, be prepared for a major twist that requires you to stretch your mind way past where you think this traditional story should go.
If you have an open mind, try it...
