    About this ebook

    When a fairy's curse—a deathlike sleep via paper cut—threatens to make her kingdom barren of books, it's up to space princess Lex to break the spell and bring books back to her people. Set in the universe of the acclaimed Interstellar Cinderella, this irrepressible fairy tale retelling will charm young readers with its brave heroine, its star-studded setting, and its hilarious, heartwarming happy ending.

      I am 100% in love with this book and want my own copy! Lex is a Black princess who loves to read. But she has been cursed to get a papercut that will put her in a deep sleep to await true love's kiss. But Lex is strong and smart and is going to break the curse all by herself with her trusty books and her loving dog Prince. Love this story, love the artwork. Love it all!
