A modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" that is humorous, thoughtful, and provocative, this young adult novel explores how a popular and shallow boy learns to look within for the first time in his life. On top of the heap at his New York City private school, Kyle Kingsbury is used to being the most beautiful and having everything he wants. But when he crosses the wrong girl, he is cursed and becomes a beast. The only way back to humanity is through true love, which is hard for a guy who can't leave the house in daylight. Alex Finn is also the author of BREATHING UNDERWATER.
