Bloomsbury presents Unlocking the Spell by E. D. Baker, read by Megan Gage.

The second book in the Wide-Awake Princess series, a magical retelling of Sleeping Beauty, by the author of The Frog Princess.

Now that Annie has helped her sister Gwendolyn (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) wake up from the 100-year curse by finding her beloved prince, you would think that things would get back to normal. Think again! That beloved prince, Beldegard, is stuck in the body of a bear and the only way that Annie can be free of the two irritating lovebirds is to help-by finding the evil dwarf who cast the spell. Luckily, Annie has assistance from handsome prince Liam, and she has many tricks up her non-magical sleeve . . .

Critic reviews

Annie is a down-to-earth character who eventually learns that there was a plot to take over the kingdom. Readers will like this wrinkle in the action as well as the surprise kiss that eventually wakes Princess Gwendolyn. Humorous at times, this fractured fairy tale will be enjoyed by readers who like adventure with a touch of romance.

Annie is an enjoyable, independent, and undaunted character, who uses wits and skills rather than spells in her endeavors.
