Of course, Belle figures out that the enchantress that cursed the Beast and the castle is her mother Rosalind. Belle and the Beast must figure out if there’s a way to stop the curse. A icy web covers the entire castle and grounds and seems to trap everyone inside. When Belle touches the rose, it disintegrate and the cruse over the castle seems to get worse. But this time the Beast doesn’t stop her time and her touching of the rose changes everything. Belle lifts the glass dome away from the rose and reaches to touch it. The beginning of the book goes over the same story from the animated movie up until the moment Belle ventures into the Beast’s room and finds the enchanted rose. Her name is Rosalind and we get to read about how she met and fell in love with Belle’s father, Maurice. In this book though, we learn more about Belle’s mother. The animated Disney tale never refers to Belle’s mother and the live action version just shows a glimpse at Belle’s mother’s passing. “As Old As Time” asks “What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast?” which is an interesting question. This month we read “As Old As Time” by Liz Brasell. Each book asks that “What If” question about a different Disney tale so they don’t have to be read in order either. This series is a great “What If” type of series where the good guy might not look like they’re going to win and everything seems to be going wrong. In this month’s review we’re going to take a look at another book from the Twisted Tale Series.
