Book Review: Beauty by Robin McKinley

Beauty (Robin McKinley) is a retelling of the classic story Beauty and the Beast. And, while there are necessary and frivolous similarities, there are also notable differences that make this story a treasure of the genre. This tale features Honor (Beauty) and her loving family who, as a result of tragic circumstances are forced to move to a place more terrible to city dwellers than any other, the country! However, they keep their heads high and their hearts pure. The story progress as most do until she reaches the castle. There magic is afoot and Beauty becomes fully immersed in it. She grows to discover her potential and her true beauty and manages to save her love from a slow and painful death. - Teen Volunteer
