What if the sleeping beauty never woke up? Once Upon a Dream marks the second book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. It should be simple--a dragon defeated, a slumbering princess in a castle, a prince poised to wake her. But when the prince falls asleep as his lips touch the fair maiden's, it is clear that this fairy tale is far from over. With a desperate fairy's last curse controlling her mind, Princess Aurora must escape from a different castle of thorns and navigate a dangerously magical landscape--created from her very own dreams. Aurora isn't alone--a charming prince is eager to join her quest, and old friends offer their help. But as Maleficent's agents follow her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are and, moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?

"It was really good but I thought it was dragged on for too long after awhile. But I really did like the way the author went about it in the beginning "

Kettle

"This book at first was confusing but once you get past the confusion which is about a chapter then you start to understand and the book gets better. This book is about what would happen if Maleficant won"

"The is a good book love the ending Bc of how much tension there was for me "

Carol

"The beginning starts a little slow, but it does help Aurora be her own character instead of a damsel in distress."

"Ok so I technically finished this last night, but WOW THIS WAS SO *GOOD*!!!!! The only thing I didn't like was that Maleficent was So evil, because I always liked her. However, I *LOVED* the fact that Aurora had actual feelings and was an Actual person with problems, instead of a Meek, Mild little girl like she is in the movie. I loved this a LOT and I'm really excited to read more of the Twisted Tales Collection!!!!"

"😍 I was lukewarm to the original disney movie but always felt it was pretty. This book addresses and twists so many negatives into a better way to look at things or are actuly addressed by characters in the book. Much appreciated! "

"A really good twist without “screwing up” the original story or concept. Takes you deeper into the villainy of Maleficent and her effect on Aurora’s life."
