About this ebook
E.D. Baker pulls out all the stops in this brilliant version of a classic tale. It's a little known fact that Sleeping Beauty's younger sister, Annie, is the one who must save the day and rescue her from the evil curse. Annie is impervious to ALL magic - good and bad - and is the only one left awake when her sister pricks that finger. She sets off through the kingdom to find her sister's true love, the only person who can wake her and reverse the spell. Annie is joined by a handsome prince in disguise as she tackles Hansel and Gretel (and their witch), and many other fabulously familiar fairytale characters.
Full of Baker's trademark humour, plot twists, and with a funny and strong female lead, this will charm fans of The Frog Princess, and bring in many new ones.

This is my favourite book of all time.Its about a girl that was enchanted with a spell that made her in invincible to any spells cast on her.It was her sisters birthday and her sister was the most beautiful girl in all the land. She was opening gifts and she was sent a needle from an anonomous person in which she pricked her finger just like in sleeping beauty and the whole castle fell asleep. Annie who was invincible to any spell was then sent on a quest to save her sister and the kingdom.She goes on a crazy adventure and makes so many great friends on the way. This book is like all the Stories such as Hansel and Grettel,Sleeping Beauty,Beauty and the Beast,Rapunzil ,Snow White and many more All the stories add up to a great story I recommend this book to Kids that want to read a book with no pictures. It is best for the ages of 11 and up.
