A contemporary Beauty and the Beast retelling in New York City

Set in present-day New York City, Alex Flinn’s retelling recasts the familiar fairy-tale transformation through Kyle Kingsbury, a wealthy, popular student turned into a beast by a witch in his English class. The story is framed as Kyle’s account of who he was and how the spell came to define his life. Its modern school setting and emphasis on appearance, status, and a curse give the classic tale a contemporary young-adult shape. This movie tie-in edition features cover art from the 2011 film adaptation.

Book overview

With a new Beauty and the Beast movie hitting theaters in Spring 2017, it's time to catch up on all things Beastly. Find out what it was like for the beast in Alex Flinn's contemporary retelling of the classic tale. This edition features cover art from the 2011 movie starring Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer.

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.
