Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley

5.0

---

Wonderful story. Ms. McKinley does a wonderful job of weaving in the essentials of the story, but not following the path of previous versions. Through Beauty's eyes, you not only see her side of the story, but also how her family feels as well as the Beast. You see an awakening in her and growth as she begins to see more of the magic around her and realize how she truly feels.
