Unlocking the Spell by E. D. Baker - ESSENTIAL


Baker, E.D.  Unlocking the Spell (a Tale of the Wide-Awake Princess), 250 p. Bloomsbury, OCTOBER 2012.  $17.  Content: G.  Annie has awoken her sister Gwendolyn (The Sleeping Beauty), but Gwendolyn’s prince is still stuck in the body of a bear.  As irritating as the two lovebirds are, Annie knows that she is the only one capable of freeing him from the curse.  Well, maybe Prince Liam could help, too.  As the trio set off to track down a dwarf, Gwennie tags along and complicates everything.  I had no idea Baker was planning a sequel to Wide Awake Princess!  Along the lines of the Frog Princess, Baker weaves in some fairy tale standards into her plot.  Young fans will be delighted.  EL – ESSENTIAL.
