A little girl with a beard must find herself a home in this contemporary fairy tale.It's 1944, and a little village in rural Quebec sits quietly beside an aging mountain and an angry river. The air tastes of kelp, and the wind keeps knocking over the cross. Beside that river an eleven-year-old girl lives with her parents. Her mother is very sad, and her father has vanished because he can't bear to look at his own daughter. You see, this little girl has suddenly sprouted a full beard.And so her mother has shut the curtains and locked the girl inside to keep her safe from the townspeople, the Boots, who think there's something wrong with a bearded little girl. And when they come for her, she escapes into the wintry night Translated from the French, Little Beast turns the modern fairy tale on its bearded head.

The writing in the book at times is compelling, there is some creative formatting of text, and I found the descriptions of the wilderness especially vivid. However, while I found the girl’s story interesting, I could not help but think something about the story wasn't working well for me, perhaps I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that the girl’s story was an anachronism of sorts, or perhaps that feeling in the reader is meant to mirror the girl’s feeling of not belonging….
