A wonderful middle grade retelling of Rapunzel, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty but retold to give us Muslim fairy tale princesses and heroines. The intertwined stories have genuinely good hearts, a sense of adventure, and stress the importance of family and friendships.
Will definitely read book 2 to follow the adventures of Rumaysa further to see if she gets her happily ever after.
