Beauty and the Beast: The Only One Who Didn't Run Away by Wendy Mass
4.0
I would feel comfortable giving this book to a late elementary reader. No mature content, rather an pleasant retelling of the classic story with backstory that made me curious to see how the characters' lives would intertwine.
I felt like her biggest weakness was in the interweaving of the protagonists' lives. It seemed forced and poorly planned. I liked the separate character backstory elements. It was the meshing together that was lacking. All in all, I'd give it 3-1/2 stars.
