Beauty by Robin McKinley


SYNOPSIS:  "Beauty," as she is called, is taken as ransom for her father's life to a castle to live with a hideous beast.  His life depends on her falling in love with him, but she can't bring herself to do so.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  Robin McKinley is an award-winning author, and this book is excellent.  I don't think I've ever heard of a girl not loving it.  It's well-told and fanciful.  I would definitely recommend this to any teenage girl.

RATING:  PG

AUDIENCE:  Pre-teens, Teens, and Young Adults

STARS:  5
