Book Talk-Beastly

Beastly

By Alex Flinn


Kyle is the best looking, coolest guy at Tuttle, an exclusive private school for snobby rich kids in today’s New York City. He is the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, any girl he wants, and the perfect life, or so everyone thinks. Actually, Kyle is a beast and only loves himself. He and his friends are mean to anyone who isn’t good looking with money. Maybe this could be the reason the witch in his English class turns him into this creature that has to hide by day and prowls by night! Kyle is still the same inside, but can’t go to school or see anyone but his maid and his tutor. To break this witch’s spell, within two years, he must truly love someone and have them love him back enough to kiss him even when he looks like a beast! Yeah, like that’s going to happen! Will Kyle break the spell, or will he have to remain a beast forever? To find out, read Beastly, by Alex Flinn. (If the story sounds familiar, yes, it is a modern day variation of the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast.)
