"I loved this one! The Wide-Awake Princess is a wonderfully fun take on "Sleeping Beauty," with a number of other twisted fairy tales mixed in. There's nonstop action and adventure, a very original twist on magic, and terrific characters, especially the heroine, Princess Annie. If you enjoy fractured fairy tales, try this; it's one of the best I've read. Good news: There's a sequel, Unlocking the Spell. Yay!"

" This was a really cute fairy tale about Sleeping Beauty's sister who goes on an adventure to save her family and kingdom when the inevitable happens. It has some fun twists and references to other fairy tales thrown into the mix. Probably for upper elem. readers. "
— Shiralea, 2/5/2014" This was another reading candy, but it was still fun! "
— Janet, 2/3/2014" I loved this one! It was well done and really cute. I would love to read this one to Eliza one day. It was mainly a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, about her sister who didn't fall asleep with the castle. But it also incorporated so many other fairy tales it was fun to figure out what one she was stumbling across in her journal to find princes to kiss her sister. I will have to try more of this author. "

— Brenda, 2/8/2012" the best thing about this story is that it mixed up almost all the fairy tales I know and put it in a nice adventure where you can relate to it even if you don't know the story behind it .. the adventure in this book was for younger audience but it was fun to read .. recommended for younger readers "
— Doha, 11/17/2011" Cute book, I really enjoyed it. I thought maybe my 11-year-old daughter might like it, but some of it seems to be directed at an older audience. It was interesting how the author intertwined many different fairy tales. "
— Katherine, 6/24/2011" this book is kind of telling the story of thje sleeping beauty, but is the oppesis way of sleep. "

— Becky, 4/1/2011" Absolutely adorable. A quick and easy read with a delightful female lead. The foreshadowing is a little heavy handed at times, but it is a young reader book, so that is to be expected and doesn't really take away from the overall charm. Definitely a feel good read for any age. "
