Customer Reviews

E.D. Baker you've done it again!!!!

I finished The Wide Awake Princess yesterday and its such a wonderful retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Gwen (Sleeping Beauty) falls asleep after pricking her finger on her 16th birthday. Her younger sister Annie and a handsome young gaurd Liam go on a quest to find Gwens true love to wake her up. Only problem is they aren't sure which prince is Gwens true love. On their travels they encounter the bear from Snow White and Rose Red and at one point Annie is locked up in Rapunzels tower and Rapunzel is gone. Anyway I'm not going to tell you any more. If you like fairytales and if you like rewritten fairytales and books written by E.D.Baker you'll love this book. I think this book is so good that it deserves a sequel because I want to know whether Gwen and Annie get married to their true loves and get embroiled into more adventures. E.D. Baker you rock!!!!!!
