Rose Daughter

From the Newbery award-winning author of The Hero and The Crown, a magic-filled retelling of Beauty and the Beast featuring Beauty and her sisters. Once upon a time, a wealthy merchant had three daughters. When his business failed, he moved his daughters to the countryside. The youngest daughter, Beauty, is fascinated by the thorny stems of a mysterious plant that overwhelms their neglected cottage. She tends the plant until it blossoms with the most beautiful flowers the sisters have ever seen—roses. Admiring the roses, an old woman tells Beauty, "Roses are for love." And she speaks of a sorcerers' battle many years ago that left a beast in an enchanted palace, and a curse concerning a family of three sisters. . . . The Newbery Medal–winning author's charming retelling of the classic fairy tale weaves a tangled story of sorcery, loyalty, and love that is sure to cast a spell on readers.
