For instance, when a cursed spinning wheel pricks her sister Gwendolyn’s finger, the entire castle is sent into a deep sleep except for Annie. However, the lack of magical powers turns out to be a curse and a blessing. The lack of the mystical powers not only makes her look ordinary, but also makes her impervious to spells and curses. Princess Annie does not have the magical powers that Gwendolyn her sister or other princesses and princes in other kingdoms have. Baker is one of the very first authors to put a spin on the Sleeping Beauty fantasy novels by making the lead character not a sleeping princess. The Wide-Awake series of novels is so different from other fantasy novels in that its draw seems to be its insistence that even persons who seemingly have no power to change things can sometimes do just that.Į.D.
In his usual humorous and witty style, Baker writes a series of novels that are full of enchantment and fun, that are sure to entertain children and young adults alike. Traveling to exotic and far-flung kingdoms, Annie who is impervious to magic or curses stars as the heroine in freeing princes from animal bodies, protecting her friends from evil forces, and the kingdom from external aggression. Annie, Sleeping Beauty’s sister plays chief protagonist on a quest to find love and to break magical spells placed upon her family and friends. Unlike the typical Princess story, The Wide-Awake series is a narrative told from the perspective of Sleeping Beauty without the magic powers. She published the first novel in the series, The Wide-Awake Princess in 2010, and over the next 6 years, she published 6 more titles. While Baker is one of the most prolific writers in the genre, the Wide-Awake Princess series of novels is one of her most popular. The Wide-Awake Princess is a series of fairy tale novels by popular American author E.D Baker.
