Well, E.D. Baker has come up with a new twist to the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Princess Annie is the sister of Princess Gwen aka Sleeping Beauty. When Princess Gwen has the curse placed upon her, a good fairy places a "curse/blessing" on Princess Annie - she will be a normal princess with no magical powers, but on the other hand magic will not be able to be used against Princess Annie either, it will just bounce off of her unto the fairy, or witch, or whoever has the magical power, and cause them to be the receipent of the spell.
Princess Annie escapes the castle, and is off in search of her sister's true love who will kiss her and wake up the kingdom. Along the way, Princess Annies meets up with many mystical creatures and fairy tale characters we all know. She invites every unattached prince she meets to go to her kingdom and see if their's is the kiss that will undo the magic spell.
Just thought I would add something different, in case there are any grandparents of young girls who need to find a good book for the summer.
