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.
