Beauty and the Beast: The Only One Who Didn't Run Away

282 pp. | Scholastic | June, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-31018-5 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Twice upon a Time series. To earn money for her family, twelve-year-old Beauty (who's anything but) is in search of a magical crystal; meanwhile, a witch transforms sensitive Prince Riley into a comically grotesque beast. A twist neatly merges the two plot lines. The setting is a medieval kingdom, but the affectionate duo is delightfully modern. Short chapters, alternately narrated by the two protagonists, keep the pace snappy.
