Two teens stuck in a fairy tale world before prom.
👑
Stella Griffin just had her heart broken three weeks before prom so the idea of going to her old favorite place, Disneyland, as a third wheel to her best friend and her date. When Nisha also brings along her new friend, Reece, Stella quickly realizes he’s the waiter that witnessed her humiliating break up. The two are immediately at odds, but when they both get stuck in Sleeping Beauty, they have to work together to figure out how to get out.
👑
Fans of 🧀 and @disney will 100% love this YA book. I love Matson’s realistic fiction/romance books so I was pumped to read this one, but the magic in the magical realism was a little much for me, personally. While the age is young adult, it felt a big upper middle grade so it would fit in a middle school very well. Many students are going to devour this #novel Can’t wait to get it in my middle school library.

It was cute but as my middle grade child said, it seems a little young for me. So, maybe, I, as an adult, shouldn't have read the book, because it probably wasn't designed for me. But as a middle school and high school teacher, I read a lot of teen fiction. This one was just slow and a little silly with not much that happens.
