Book Review: Belle Takes Flight by Kathy McCullough

The spell that turned the Prince into the Beast has been broken. But when he mysteriously goes missing, Belle learns that he is being held prisoner by a far-away kingdom under a spell of their own. Now it's up to her to rescue him. With the help of Lumiere, Cogsworth, and several new friends, Belle sets out on a quest that takes her farther than she's ever gone before. This original hardcover middle grade novel based on the beloved Disney classic Beauty and the Beast is perfect for fans of The Descendents and other older Disney books.

The book is a sequel to the story we already know and love. Belle wants to build a library for the village children and encounters some problems along the way and has quite the adventure. Yes we finally get to see Maurice's flying machine! I enjoy the continuation of Belle's character as I believe the author stayed true to her original depictions. A fun middle grade story for any Disney lover. I give this book 4 stars.

Thank you so much Scholastic Australia for this copy in return for my honest and independent review.
