Jake thinks he's too cool for fairy tales, but that changes when he falls into the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale and meets Belle.

When Belle goes to visit her ailing father, Jake takes the opportunity to befriend the Beast. Jake calls out the Beast on his terrible behaviour and attitude and learns a few things about himself in this untraditional graphic novel.

"Mari Jiwe has begun to understand the animal powers that come with her family's birthright: the Tantu Totem. But now a distant relative has followed her to New York to claim those powers for himself..."--

"Before starting college, Mari Jiwe's relatives [give] her an ancestral totem, once fabled to give its wearer the powers of the animal kingdom. Mari just chalks its 'magical powers' up to superstition. After arriving in New York City, though, she definitely notices something strange about her new home. Especially the animals. While Mari battles staying awake in class and feral subway rats, dark plans emerge from the corners of the vast metropolis. Girls who look just like her start going missing and Mari can't shake the feeling that she's next. As for the totem? Turns out that the 'magical powers' are actually a thing, and Mari is next up to wield them"--

"The fan-favorite character whose magic necklace grants her animal powers is back, and the pressure couldn't be higher. Without the power of the Tantu Totem, Mari lacks the confidence to take down Maksai and stop him from performing horrifying experiments that grotesquely combine humans and animals into monstrous killing machines! Can she master the ability to look inward and harness her animal powers without her totem in time? She's going to need all the help she can get, and with the Teen Titans by her side, she'll bring the fight right to Maksai's front door."--Back cover.
