(4) YA Aurora Belle and Lucius Wolfe are both new in school. Pretty Aurora quickly becomes popular; Lucius is an outcast, in part because he has hooks in place of hands. The two characters are inexplicably drawn to each other, as described in shifting first-person narration. This modern-day "Beauty and the Beast" interpretation suffers from melodramatic writing, but the characters' relationship is compelling.
