In this new stand-alone 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.
But who is her true love? The irritating Digby? The happy-go-lucky Prince Andreas, who is holding a contest to find his bride? The conniving Clarence, whose sinister motives couldn't possibly spell true love? 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.

The best way I can describe this book is simply sweet. This is a perfect book to introduce to your young daughters learning a love of reading. The story has a wonderful message, the romance is sweet and the adventures are perfect for the younger readers. But that doesn't mean it isn't also an enjoyable read for adults. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
There are other books in this series as well which I have yet to read but I imagine they are all just as great as the first one.
This series includes:
The Wide-Awake Princess
Unlocking the Spell
The Bravest Princess
