The Wide-Awake Princess

mermaid_lover - loving this book so far. it is just like slepping beauty except the author changed it a little to make it more entertaining. my favorite part so far is when gwendolen [sleeping beauty] opens her presents from her 16th birthday and one present is this tree and you crank a key and i think it turns into a bird and then she cranks another key and it turns into an egg and then she cranks another key and then the egg splits into 4 pieces and the egg lets out a gold object with gems and the princess gwendolen catches it as the object almost hits the ground. but little did the princess know that it was a minnie spindle that was sent in by the witch she fell into a deep sleep.i know that my favorite part was long but it was interesting . i recommend this book to people who love fairy tales with a twist in it. this book is for grade 3 and up. it is a novel witch means no pictures.so if your looking for pictures this might not be the best book for you. it is very interesting . i hope you enjoy it.
