Beauty is sailing the ocean when pirates attack and, to her horror, her father is thrown overboard. Just as he sinks beneath the waves, something horrible rises, a kraken! Without hesitation, Beauty makes a deal to become the giant squid's prisoner if it rescues her father. But as Beauty explores the island she's now marooned on, she discovers secret treasure that may hold the key to saving herself ... and the sea beast. Experience the classic "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale like never before in this graphic novel retelling. With information on the original tale, a guide to the story's twists and visual discussion questions, this book will engage and excite readers in equal measure.
These graphic novels are designed very well for newer or struggling readers. The action-packed plots and the brevity of the stories (33 pages) are perfect for this group. . . . The scaffolding provided by the original fairy tales lets the reader know the basic story arcs and objectives...but the changes in characters’ physical features, adjustments to some plot points, and modernized dialogue all heighten interest for elementary-aged readers. . . .readers who like quick reads and are intimidated by longer books and unfamiliar vocabulary will love them. Fans of Art Baltazar’s Tiny Titans books who are willing to move outside the superhero realm should try the Far Out Fairy Tales series. * No Flying, No Tights *
