It's always fun when you can tell that the author of a book imprinted on the exact same Disney movie that you did. Gratuitous descent down the staircase and all.
Beauty and the Beast never gets old (it is the tale as old as time, after all) and Sandhya Menon's take on it is as sweet and fun as the rest of her books. I could have used a little less time in the land of "the reader knows things that the main characters could theoretically work out", but I always have weird rules for that in my head. I'm not entirely sure it stands up to much analytic scrutiny and I'm just as sure that it does not need to. It's just fine the way it is and I am a sucker for this fairy tale.
