Kyle Kingsbury is perfect in almost every way—perfectly good-looking, perfectly wealthy, and perfectly popular. But underneath his perfection, he’s thoughtless and cruel…perfectly beastly. Then one day he goes too far with the wrong person, who, as luck would have it, is a witch. She decides that he should look the way he acts and turns him into a beast, complete with fangs, claws, and fur! In order to break the spell, he must meet his true love—the one who can find some good in him and who he can love in return. Will he find her…or be a beast forever
Now a major motion picture by CBS 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 beast’s 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!
