About This Book
In the fourth book of the 'Whatever After' series, Abby and her brother Jonah are once again pulled into a classic fairy tale, this time Sleeping Beauty, but with an unexpected twist: their friend Robin comes along and accidentally becomes the sleeping princess. This chapter book offers a humorous, fast-paced adventure as the trio navigates the enchanted world, trying to reverse the curse and find a prince, all while dealing with mischievous fairies and a ticking clock. It's a delightful read for early to late elementary children, blending contemporary sensibilities with beloved fairy tale elements, and highlighting themes of friendship, sibling bonds, and problem-solving.
My friend Robin and I were going to have the best sleepover ever. We'd stay up late, eat s'mores, share secrets -- and NOT knock on my magic mirror. I was NOT getting pulled into another fairy tale. But the mirror STILL ends up pulling me and my brother, Jonah, into Sleeping Beauty's story -- and this time, Robin comes with us, too When Robin pricks her finger on the spindle, I know we're in trouble. Now she's fast asleep, Sleeping Beauty is wide awake, and I have to: - Host a fake birthday party for Jonah - Find a prince to wake up Robin - Avoid getting cursed by scary fairies We only have ten hours to make things right . . . or this day will become a nightmare
