The first book in the Sisters Ever After series! Sleeping Beauty's younger sister has always lived in her shadow—until now. Perfect for anyone who loves fairy tale retellings about sisters and princesses!
For years, Briony has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Rosalin, and the curse that has haunted her from birth—that on the day of her sixteenth birthday she would prick her finger on a spindle and cause everyone in the castle to fall into a 100-year sleep. When the day the curse is set to fall over the kingdom finally arrives, nothing—not even Briony—can stop its evil magic.
You know the story.
But here's something you don't know. When Briony finally wakes up, it's up to her to find out what's really going on, and to save her family and friends from the murderous Thornwood. But who is going to listen to her? This is a story of sisterhood, of friendship, and of the ability of even little sisters to forge their own destiny.

      Gr 4-7-Cypess debuted her middle grade "Sisters Ever After" series in 2021 with this enchanting retelling of Sleeping Beauty with maybe a bit of Rumpelstiltskin mixed in. The audiobook follows a year later, releasing simultaneously with the series' second installment, Glass Slippers. Prolific, versatile Jessica Almasy animates the castle cast, starring Briony, the never-mentioned sister to the soporific beauty "with her gorgeous hair and her lovely eyes blah blah blah." Such spunky attitude! Move over, ever-famous Rosalin-11-year-old Briony is "going to tell you what really happened." She'll prove herself the undisputed hero, fighting evil faeries, unmasking imposters, taking no one for granted, and eventually-of course-rescuing them all. VERDICT Almasy skillfully ensures each of Cypess's characters gets distinctly heard in a rousing celebration of empowering sisterhood.
