I loved the hilarity and talent of this author! The book is a funny retelling of the classic tale, and what a job well done it is! Definitely recommend it.

Wendy Mass tells the story of Beauty and the Beast, as never heard before!
When you're stuck with the name Beauty, people expect a lot from you - like beauty and grace and courage and a sense of style. But what if you have none of these things? What if all you like to do is read books and search for odd objects that other people drop? Oh, and you have a perfect older sister who really should have had your name instead of you.
And when you're a prince, you're supposed to be athletic and commanding and brave and tall. But what if you are none of those things? What if all you like to do is play the bagpipes (badly), study the stars, and try to figure out how to make worms live forever? Oh, and you also have a perfect older brother who is a lot more princely than you'll ever be.

This book shows a very creative and different version of Beauty and the Beast, because the protagonists are nothing like I thought they would be and they don't act the way they're expected to by most people. This is a really good fantasy-themed book, describing two people who are a lot like normal people, not like a prince or someone named Beauty, and how they meet and their relationship.
Really cool and funny like all the other books!!!!!!!!:)
Oh it was so good!
This book (so far) is pretty good! A girl & a boy are unhappy with their lives. They think their older siblings are greater than them. I don't know what else happened because I haven't gotten far. I'll update when I finsh
I loved this book. It took very quick for them to realize they were perfect for each other. For some reason I expected Handsome and Beauty to end up getting married. WENDY MASS YOU ROCK!!!! Can't wait for more books!!!
i want to read this book because all of my friends are reading it and they say it is very good
It is a very good book. You should read it.
