What this book is about

Beauty is not the prettiest of her sisters — but she's the bravest. When her father makes a bargain with the Beast to save his life, Beauty goes in his place. McKinley's debut is gentle, rich, and deeply considered — a fairy tale retelling that feels more true than most of its source material.
