Crazy Beautiful

Lauren Baratz-Logsted's book entitled Crazy Beautiful is a modern day Beauty and the Beast tale. Told in alternating chapters by Lucius and Aurora the story unfolds.
Lucius has lost both hands in a self-made explosion. He has heavy scarring on his chest and two steel hooks in place of hands. He's changing schools for a new start.
Aurora has also changed schools. Her father has recently been widowed.
The two could not be more different from each other.
Yet, they meet on the bus on the first day of school.
Lucius seems arrogant and standoffish while Aurora is beautiful and always smiling. Beauty and the Beast with an updated feel!
