I am a beast.
A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright--a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.
You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever--ruined--unless I can break the spell.
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.
Now a major motion picture by CSB Films starring Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, and Alex Pettyfer, Beastly is a contemporary and original retelling of Beauty and the Beast told from the beasts point-of-view. Full of surprising twists, edgy characters, and a fast-paced New York setting, teens will surely want to read it before they see it!
