När Mio vägrar att läsa en saga för sin lillasyster händer det märkliga saker. Boken får plötsligt liv och Mio hamnar i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret. Han försöker hitta en väg ut, men precis som Belle är han nu fånge hos Odjuret. Hur ska han komma hem igen? Och varför lyssnar inte Odjuret på vad Belle säger. Ett nej, är ju ett nej! När Mio kastas rakt in i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret får han perspektiv på saker. Varför var han så dum och vägrade att läsa saga för sin lillasyster? Nu är det till exempel inte viktigt längre med dyra saker till Mios rum. Det viktiga är att Odjuret respekterar Belle, och att Mio får komma hem igen. Men hur? Nu introducerar Nypon förlag serieböcker som tar ett modernt och humoristiskt tag om några av historiens mest välkända sagor. Böckerna är enkel läsning för de yngre, och passar bra att använda i klassrummet som bredvidläsning, eller för att diskutera olika teman. I Skönheten säger nej, är det fokus på att respektera varandra, och att det faktiskt kan vara hur coolt som helst att vara snäll! Så här skriver BTJ om Skönheten säger nej:”… Boken är del av Nypons serie Moderna sagor med lättlästnivå 2. Den kan öppna dörren för vidare serieläsning och bli en bro till mer textrik läsning. Innehållet väcker frågor om att stå upp för sig själv, lyssna på andra och följa sina känslor. Och om pojkars och flickors förväntade roller. Här finns stoff att diskutera eller fartfylld läsning från pärm till pärm. …” Anna Eklöv Rosander, BTJ.
