I love the work of Jennifer Donnelly and while to some of her fans this may seem like a bit too "commercial" a venture, the book reflects her thoughtful writing and word choice.  Using the characters of the Disney Film, Beauty and the Beast, but adding a contest between sisters Death and Love, Belle has new choices to make and life lessons to learn.  A lot is said about the writing of a book and who determines your story.  I think this will have broad appeal to romantic young girl and also independent ones who would like their "prince" to be able to express himself genuinely.
