About The Wide-Awake Princess
In this new fairy tale, Princess Annie is the younger sister to Gwen, the princess destined to be Sleeping Beauty. When Gwennie pricks her finger and the whole castle falls asleep, only Annie is awake, and only Annie--blessed (or cursed?) with being impervious to magic--can venture out beyond the rose-covered hedge for help. She must find Gwen's true love to kiss her awake. Joined by one of her father's guards, Liam, who happened to be out of the castle when the sleeping spell struck, Annie travels through a fairy tale land populated with characters both familiar and new as she tries to fix her sister and her family . . . and perhaps even find a true love of her own. (Can be read as a stand-alone book, or as part of the series.)
