The Wide-Awake Princess

De: E. D. Baker

Narrado por: Emily Bauer

In this 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.

Smart and fun take on fairy tales

My 5 and 7 year old girls were both riveted by this story. Lots of good adventure and a practical princess heroine to appreciate. We are now going on to listen to it a second time.

A story that made me happy.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

at the very end this story pulled together suspense and yanked a smile out of tears but I guess I may just be an emotional person.

wow. this was a fun read for my kids and ME!

I am looking forward to the next book in the series. there are probably a lot of nuances to other story fairy tales my kids are not catching but I have enjoyed every one of them.

Better Than Expected

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wide-Awake Princess to be better than the print version?

I would have to say that the printed version doesn't do the book enough justice. When I listened to the novel I felt so moved.

What other book might you compare The Wide-Awake Princess to and why?

I would compare this novel to other princess related fairy tale mess ups like the Princess Academy Series (not on audiobooks). I have to say I love it when authors put their own twist on novels.

I have to say this is just as good as the next book in the series, which I listened to as well. She is simply amazing.
