Publisher's summary

Hidden in the Beast's library is a very mysterious book. Belle is about to discover it and visit a glittering new world. But is everything in that world what it seems? And will Belle be able to find her way home? Or will the story take hold of her - and never let her go?

Smart, bookish Belle, a captive in the Beast's castle, has become accustomed to her new home and has befriended its inhabitants. When she comes upon Nevermore, an enchanted book unlike anything else she has seen in the castle, Belle finds herself pulled into its pages and transported to a world of glamour and intrigue. The adventures Belle has always imagined, the dreams she was forced to give up when she became a prisoner, seem within reach again.

The charming and mysterious characters Belle meets within the pages of Nevermore offer her sparkling conversation, a life of dazzling Parisian luxury, and even a reunion she never thought possible. Here Belle can have everything she has ever wished for. But what about her friends in the Beast's castle? Can Belle trust her new companions inside the pages of Nevermore? Is Nevermore's world even real? Belle must uncover the truth about the book before she loses herself in it forever.

Great Mother Daughter Read

I loved being able to connect with my daughter over this book! I loved that we both knew the backstory of Belle but was introduced to this whole new realm. We enjoyed listening to it together and even more enjoyed talking about what happening. Even if you are listening on your own.. You will still enjoy it! It is definitely 5 stars!!

skip the remake and read this instead.

This fills in gaps of emotional growth that were not in the movie. It also shows a larger scale battle at play.

It has a lot of soul and imagination. In other words, it is a perfect book to get lost in.

Amazing original story!!!

Everything that I expected and more from Disney's Belle happened in this book.
It has darker themes at times but are dealt with care.

Enchanting addition

I did love the story and being back in Belle's world. However, I was hoping there would be new information. I didn't realize it was going to take place within the original story. I would have liked to get fresh ideas and such. However, it was enchanting and engaging despite that.

If you were left wanting a little more... you'll find it here!

If you were left wanting a little more after seeing Beauty and the Beast in theaters... you'll find it here!

The only draw back is it took me a few chapter to feel immersed in the story, but once your drawn into the magic you'll never want to leave. The title does the book justice, I was truly lost in a book!

This book met every Disney expectation, well done!
