    About this audiobook

    The girl’s been asleep for a hundred years.
    The boy’s got issues of his own.
    There are two sides to every story …

    It’s not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding
    all sharp objects … and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a
    hundred years.

    And it’s not easy being The Prince. Especially when your mother has some ogre blood and tends
    to chow down at the most unfortunate moments. A walk in the woods would help, you think. Until
    you find a certain hidden castle … and a certain sleeping princess. Happily ever after? Not until
    the prince helps the princess awaken … and brings her home to Mother.

    Journey back to the days when fairy tales were true with this fun and fresh spin on a timeless tale!

      Adorable quick adaptation. The principal characters got fleshed out a lot, the basic storyline didn't really change. I do like this author.

      Another Wendy Mass wonder book about the princess who slept for a 100 years and a prince with no name. Funny, insightful and colorfully put, teens will love reading this book.
    • 5/5
      The first book of twice upon a time was amazing, and this one did not cease to impress me. I really enjoyed this book, and it was funny, humourous, and full of adventure. I liked that it had a new twist of the fairytale to it and that it was different from the traditional disney fairytale story that every single young girl has watched. I really liked this book, and I hope that the Twice upon a time series will grow.
    • 4/5
      In this story, as in some other modern versions of "Sleeping Beauty", all the fairies' gifts are seen not as a blessing, but a burdon. Princess Rose wants to be good at what she is naturally good at- not at what some fairies just gave to her. In this one she tries some things that she otherwise might not be good at just to see whether she is (she isn't). While we hear her story, we hear the tale of a lonely prince who lives in fear of his part ogre mother, and the two tales go back and forth one hundred years apart. The story ends with the princess rebelling against her gifts in a final way that seals her marriage with her prince of choice- she mars her beauty by chopping her hair and getting dirty. Yes, she'll be pretty again tomorrow, but she plans to keep it up. In this story she also sleeps alone except for a friend, but all the letters from her friends and family are kept in a box in the basement for when she wakes.
