Bloomsbury presents The Wide-Awake Princess by E. D. Baker, read by Megan Gage.

The first book in a new series by the author of The Frog Princess, a delightful re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty.

Princess Annie is frustratingly (and luckily) resistant to magic. When her sister Gwen pricks her finger and the whole castle falls asleep, only Annie stays awake. Now it's up to Annie to find a prince to kiss her sister and break the spell. But who is her sister's true love? And what about Annie's own happily-ever-after? Annie travels through a fairy tale land filled with characters both familiar and new in this original adventure from the beloved author of The Tales of the Frog Princess.

Critic reviews

The Wide-Awake Princess is FUNNY....I am going to sell the absolute crap out of it in paperback; there won't be a girl who shops at our store who won't have this book....This book is a total romp and I love it to pieces and I can't wait to read it to my daughter someday. Sometimes when I like a book I just keep the galley, but this one? I'm buying it in hardcover.
A clever twist on a selection of fairy tales....The author ably joins the practitioners of the contemporary fairy tale, suggesting that those fairy tales and their happily-ever-afters are not always better than reality.
Humorous at times, this fractured fairy tale will be enjoyed by readers who like adventure with a touch of romance.
Annie is an enjoyable, independent, and undaunted character, who uses wits and skills rather than spells in her endeavors... This blend of romance, suspense, magic, and humor offers an entertaining, peppy fractured fairy tale.
