Reading Beauty

"This modern retake on "Sleeping Beauty" is an interstellar fairy tale that is vibrantly illustrated and fun to read–aloud" (School Library Journal). An irrepressible fairy tale retelling that is sure to charm readers of all ages: When a fairy's curse—a deathlike sleep via paper cut—threatens to make her kingdom barren of books, it's up to space princess Lex to break the spell and bring books back to her people. Set in the universe of the acclaimed Interstellar Cinderella, this empowering bedtime story for girls will entice young readers with its brave heroine, star-studded setting, and hilarious, heartwarming happy ending. Fans of Grown-Ups Never Do That and A Girl, a Racoon, and the Midnight Moon will also enjoy the fantastical storyline and captivating imagery found in Reading Beauty. Praise for Reading Beauty "The rhyming text cleverly spins the story to involve reading at every turn. [And,] Hunt's mixed-media illustrations incorporate eye-pleasing sci-fi details." —Horn Book "A nifty addition to the shelves of feminist fractured fairy tales." —Kirkus Reviews
