The tale of Sleeping Beauty is true. There was actually a princess, and an evil fairy queen, and a terrible cursed spinning wheel. It did happen... so long ago that it's remembered now only as a "fairy tale." In real life, though, there was no magic kiss and no happy ending. The princess just kept sleeping, hidden away as the world moved on. Now, brothers Jasen and Corey Stillwell have stumbled upon the hiding place of the sleeping princess and awakened her. They find themselves suddenly caught in the middle of a centuries-old tale of magic and danger, struggling to survive against the wrath of an evil fairy queen that will stop at nothing to see the princess gone forever. It will take luck, courage, and a little magic if they hope to beat the odds and break the ancient curse to make their own "happily ever after."

This book was a great suprise. Funny, exciting, lots of great plot turns. My 13-year-old bought this novel for herself and I picked it up and couldn't put it back down. Basically it boils down to this: Two brothers who live in modern-day New York State find Sleeping Beauty in the woods, where she has been hidden away, sleeping, for 1300 years. She wakes up (no, they don't kiss her. Something else happens, but I don't want to give it away) and now she finds herself in the modern world. The story follows her as she tries to fit into school while at the same time she and the brothers work to solve the mystery of the curse that's on her. Highly recommended. - Lillian Glasser Write a review
