Meet Beauty. Despite her name, she doesn't feel beautiful at all, especially when she is constantly compared to her absolutely perfect older sister. Then there is Prince Riley. He is supposed to be a fearless, athletic hero, but he would honestly rather stay inside studying the stars or practicing his bagpipes. When Beauty's life takes a sudden, unexpected turn, she is forced to leave home and figure out who she truly is. Meanwhile, Prince Riley is dealing with a massive problem of his own as he is suddenly sprouting thick fur, sharp claws, and a very beastly attitude.
When their paths finally cross, they must work together to break a magical curse and discover that true strength comes from within. Packed with laugh-out-loud humor, exciting adventure, and plenty of heart, this clever chapter book proves that appearances can be deceiving!
