Annotation: Cameron Dokey recreates the story of “Beauty and the Beast” in Belle, the story of Annabelle and her family, who happen upon a magical wood and encounter a beast there. Annabelle’s love of wood-carving draws her into the mystery of the beast when she is asked to carve a branch of the Heartwood Tree, which will reveal true love. Dokey transforms a familiar story into an enjoyable tale that is surprising in its complexity and ability to depict true love.
Recommended grade levels: 7-11
