Beastly by Alex Finn


Beastly by Alex Finn is a modernized story of The Beauty and the Beast. I couldn't imagine how the author could make the isolated world in modern day that is required for this story to work, but Finn created an amazing world where this works! The teen-aged boy in the story is turned into a beast because he is unkind and vain. Finn expertly winds the critical elements of the rose, the one year curse which can only be broken by true love, and the isolation of the masion into this amazing and very good book. One of my students recomended Beastly to me--she also tells me that it is being made into a movie soon!
