A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a pretty cute retelling of Sleeping Beauty. It's told with duel narrators: The Princess, and the boy who kisses her awake. Both characters are pretty spoiled and immature in the beginning of the novel which was amusing and refreshing...as it continues on, the characters both grow during their journey. I really liked how the newly awakened Princess had to cope with reemerging in the 21st Century...it's not part of the usual canon. This will probably be a Disney movie sooner rather than later. I only gave it 3 stars (liked it) because it wasn't very deep. The supporting characters not very developed, and it used a lot of cliched stereotypes. Still, I thought it was very fun and light. A great beach read or for when you need a break from major reading.
