Braswell, Liz Once Upon a Dream, 448 pages. Disney, APRIL 2016. $18.
Language: PG (6 swears, 0 ‘f’); Mature Content: G; Violence: PG (Maleficent
kills people to fuel her powers, some blood).
The Prince has come to waken Sleeping Beauty with a kiss –
but what!? He has fallen asleep,
instead. And straight into a dream world
created by Maleficient to hold Aurora in thrall until her time to fight back
has run out. First some how Aurora has
to realize on her own that the world she occupies is not real. Then she has to find courage, not a gift from
the three fairies, to face her challenges and save everyone.
This is the story that Disney should have used to launch the
Twisted Tales series and this is the movie that should have been made instead
of Maleficent. Welcome to a Disney
princess who becomes more than a pretty face – a princess who can actually
become a role model. I hope Disney makes
these into movies – even TV movies would be welcome!
MS – ESSENTIAL.
