Based on the characters from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, this story takes place at some indeterminate time in the midst of Belle’s stay at the castle, after she’s stopped being fearful, but before she’s fallen in love with the beast. Reading a book before bed one evening, Belle discovers the last chapter of the book is missing.  She spends the rest of the story deciphering clues that lead to other clues until she finds the book (with the help of the Beast). It’s a beginning level chapter book that will appeal to some students simply because it’s Belle, but it’s really rather a trite little story.
