I purchased this book a few years ago because:
A. I love Beauty and the Beast.
B. I wanted to gift it to my niece.
C. I wanted to know if it was appropriate for third graders.
It’s Accelerated Reader level is 4.8.
Some of the names are difficult, as well as some words, but context clues are helpful.
It has all of our favorite characters. The plot centers on Belle finding a book called Nevermore, that she literally portals in and out of, well, almost...
Love and Death are two new sisters introduced in this novel.
There is something to be said about Happily Ever After...

I LOVE Beauty and the Beast and was stoked to read this, but it was a little weird. I loved the moments that Belle and the Beast shared but when Belle was in the book it felt like the plot was forced. Still it was a nice companion for the movie.

I love Beauty and the Beast - and that's why this is three stars. The book was cute, but not groundbreaking.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. A cute addition to the Beauty and the Beast story. Juvenile at times, but overall a fun read with good writing.

I loved this story! It fit so well into what the movie already gives you and it would definitely make for a wonderful sequel to the love action beauty and the beast movie! The concept and story were wonderful and I can't wait to read it to my daughter one day.
My only issue with the book was how many errors there are, feels like maybe it was rushed through the editing process to make it on shelfs in time for the movie.

Captivating story. I fell in love with the story line and the characters especially Chip!! Although the writing may seem simple "because it's meant for children" I won't let my younger siblings read this. There was some scary elements that even as a 24 years old scared the hell out of me like for example when Nevermore reveled it's true self and Henri ! However, overall loved loved this book.

Ondanks dat ik op voorhand dacht dat dit boek gewoon een idee was van Disney om meer geld binnen te halen, ben ik blij dat het zo veel meer was. Je kan zeer gemakkelijk zelf verloren geraken in deze versie van het verhaal van Belle en het Beest.

3.75/5 Stars.
I really liked this take on an adventure Belle could've gone on during her stay at the Beast's castle. It was interesting and I flew through it. However, I did find that I had to not think to much about the movie and certain things that happen before and after that make this not quite fit in. But it was still a great read!
