Today didn’t start off as the worst day ever. And just look at the stunning cover:Ĭheck out an exclusive excerpt from Beast below. Publisher's copy likens the novel to titles from YA titans Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan, and they aren't wrong. Even though Spangler's tackling a new and different audience with Beast, it reads like an offering from an old pro. Both Peg Leg Peke and The Grumpy Dump Truck are picture books. It shouldn't matter to anyone, least of all Dylan, and it shouldn't change his opinion of her, but Jamie worries that it might.īeast is a departure from Spangler's previous books.
But Jamie has a secret that Dylan missed out on hearing. She challenges him, fascinates him, and - best of all - she isn't afraid of him. He wakes up enrolled in a self-harm prevention class, where he meets Jamie. After his school bans hats - his disguise of choice - Dylan falls off a roof and breaks his leg in what appears to be a suicide attempt. Spangler's newest tale centers on Dylan, a burly, hairy loner whose only friend seems like more of a user and abuser than a best buddy.
Knopf for an exclusive look at the cover and a chapter excerpt, book and fairy tale nerds, so read on! Children's book author Brie Spangler is set to make her YA debut with Beast: a retelling of you-know-which classic fairytale, but with a unique new spin.
