Beastly by Alex Flinn


I love the original Beauty and the Beast tale.  A student got me to read Beastly a contemporary adaptation of the story.  The story is told in the beast's point of view.  He's a awful teen boy who is rich and privileged. Kyle Kingsbury has no heart and is not very nice either.  When a curse is put on him to turn him into a monster, he lives in isolation with a blind teacher and a housemaid for companions.  Will the curse ever be lifted.  Seemingly impossible. 
A great read.  I look forward to reading more of her books.
