Being\u003cbr\u003e      too proud? Taking up too much space? Or is it just wanting\u003cbr\u003e      something, anything, too badly?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      That's the problem Arabella faces when she makes her debut in\u003cbr\u003e      society.

As the\u003cbr\u003e      years pass, Arabella abandons hope. The curse is her fault - after\u003cbr\u003e      all, there's nothing more \"beastly\" than a girl who expresses\u003cbr\u003e      her anger - and the only way to break it is to find\u003cbr\u003e      a boy who loves her for her true self: a cruel task for a girl\u003cbr\u003e      who's been told she's impossible to love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      When a handsome thief named Beau makes his way into the castle,\u003cbr\u003e      the captive servants are thrilled, convinced he is the one to break\u003cbr\u003e      the curse.
