8. Unlocking the Spell - by E.D. Baker - Sequel to "Wide-Awake Princess". - Now that Annie has found her sister's true love, so that the inhabitants of Treecrest's castle are awake once more, Annie and Liam set out on a quest with Gwendolyn's true love to find the person who cast the evil spell on him and have it reversed. Gwendolyn follows them to join the quest, making it more difficult as she's the fairest princess in a the known world. Meanwhile, Annie and Liam's relationship seems not so happily-ever-after as Annie thought it would be.
They meet a lot of interesting fairy tale characters through-out the story and my daughter delighted in guessing which ones they were. Baker does a good job of showing those well-known stories in a completely new light, or perspective.
