Sleeping Beauty: The One Who Took the Really Long Nap / Wendy Mass / 172 pages / Fairy Tale Challenge

This is yeat another retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, but with an interesting twist.  Alternating chapters recount the lives of Princess Rose and The Prince (who is nameless), who rescues her.  We have all the elements of the classic tale and then some.  The prince's mother is an ogre and has been known to eat humans.  The prince and his family are living in an exact replica of Sleeping Beauty's castle.  Author of 11 Birthdays, Wendy Mass, has crafted a "fresh, fun spin on a timeless tale."
