(3) YA In this retelling of "Beauty and the Beast," Kyle, a cruel, arrogant rich kid, is cursed by a witch to live as a beast until he proves he has learned his lesson. The characters aren't quite interesting enough to make the love story sing, but Flinn's adaptation cleverly incorporates modern twists while retaining the integrity of the traditional tale.
