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.
This blog is essentially a list of children's books that I have enjoyed (or didn't but might recommend anyway). They are tagged for age level and other searchable characteristics. Please comment on anything you'd like to see to make this a useful tool for you when looking for books that children (or those young at heart) might enjoy. - Anthea Bailie
