Publisher Description
Modern-day teens wander into Disney's Sleeping Beauty in this enemies-to-lovers rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson.
Two modern teens.
One classic fairy tale.
Absolutely no cell service.
Stella Griffin doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Ever since her boyfriend dumped her three weeks before the prom—not ideal timing—she’s convinced every love story is a lie.
She’s ready to skip the prom entirely. But she and her best friend, Nisha, have been planning for years to celebrate at Disneyland before the prom . . . an OG OC tradition. But even being all dressed up at the Happiest Place on Earth isn’t salvaging Stella’s night. Nisha has brought along her friend Reece to join them, and he and Stella do not get along. They’re like oil and water. Cats and dogs. Aladdin and Jafar. And so what if Reece is, fine, kind of cute? Stella’s over it all. Happily-ever-afters, true love’s kisses, princes on white horses. It’s not real.
. . . Or is it?
Because when Stella and Reece push through a hidden door in Sleeping Beauty’s castle, they’re not in Anaheim anymore. They’re in the story. In Sleeping Beauty—with Aurora and Phillip, the fairies, Maleficent, and extremely intelligent woodland creatures.
Unfortunately, they’ve landed right in the middle of the story—which throws things off. Suddenly, Aurora and Phillip are meeting before they were supposed to. The fairies are suspicious of the interlopers, and even Maleficent gets word of their arrival.
Stella and Reece will have to put aside their differences, make sure Aurora and Phillip fall in love, and get the story back on track—because if things don’t end the way they’re supposed to . . . they might never get home.
Will they be able to pull off a fairy-tale ending? And will Stella and Reece get a happily-ever-after of their own?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two contemporary teens are whisked away to a fairy tale world in this pleasing enemies-to-lovers rom-com by Matson (The Firefly Summer). High school junior Stella Griffin is determined to enjoy her trip to Disneyland with her best friend Nisha and Nisha's boyfriend, even if she's now a third wheel after being abruptly dumped. She's certain that not even the last-minute addition of new guy Reece will spoil her fun, despite his inexplicable grudge against her and his having witnessed her disastrous breakup. But then Stella and Reece are magically transported into the world of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, where their arrival jeopardizes Aurora and Prince Philip's developing romance. To ensure that the story unfurls as it should, Reece hangs out with the prince while Stella befriends Aurora, a situation that forces Stella to let go of her micromanaging tendencies. By employing and expanding upon familiar moments from the source material, Matson renders the original tale's characters as relatable, multidimensional teens who—coupled with Stella and Reece's antagonism—enliven this enjoyable romp. Most characters read as white; Reece has "golden-brown hair, brown eyes, and dark thick eyebrows." Ages 12–up.
