June Book #4

Book: A Long Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan
Age-range: 12 and up

This book has generated a lot of buzz in fairy tale circles. It's a science fiction re-telling of Sleeping Beauty. I went in not expecting much and I wasn't disappointed. It was pretty good, but I don't think it was as wow as so many people seemed to believe.

I am happy about the trends of both more girl-friendly science fiction and more fairy tale related science fiction. It will make getting my own sci fi fairy tale published a little easier if there's a good precedence for it.

Happy reading!
