Aladdin: Far from Agrabah by Aisha Saeed
4.0
3.5 stars, rounded up.
This is basically a tale of Aladdin and Jasmine’s date on the magic carpet during the singing of “A Whole New World.” I’ve always loved that part of the movie, and it was nice to see it expanded upon in book form. There was more dimension to Jasmine and I really liked that she wanted to be a good leader to the people of Agrabah. Aladdin really milked that first wish of being a prince - even getting the Genie to create the fictitious city of Ababwa! Lengthening their date made the romance more believable. It was cute and I liked it. I really want to rewatch the cartoon now!
