Beastly
My name is Kenzie. I am a freshman at Carbondale Community High School. I'm in Mrs. Hayes's class. I'm reading Beastly by Alex Flinn. I chose this book because I recently watched the movie and I really liked it. When I saw Beastly was on the list, I knew I wanted to read it. In my book, the main character, Kyle, has grown up being mean to all the ugly girls and boys. There was a girl, Kendra that stood up and said, “The people on this ballot were chosen on one basis and one basis only-physical beauty”. What Kendra is trying to tell us, is that the word only judges people on their outside appearance. Kendra has been watching Kyle and if he doesn't start being nice, then she will turn him into a beast. After Kyle's last chance Kendra turns him. Kyle went from the hottest guy in school, to an ugly, hairy, beast. Kyle has two years to find true love or he is stuck like that forever. His father moves him to Brooklyn and pays the house-keeper to live with him and keep their secret. Kyle's father pays a blind man to teach him, since Kyle can't go to school. Kyle starts being nice to the house-keeper and the blind man, Will. The only thing Kyle needs now is a true love and he will be normal again.
