Revisioning Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Prince Phillip fails to awaken Princess Aurora. Instead, both are caged in a sinister dream world by Maleficent. Aurora must overcome physical and mental obstacles to save her dream-imprisoned subjects. Despite the book's pandering to hardcore Disney fans, its witty banter, inventive plot, and subtle references to other movies make this more compelling than A Whole New World, Braswell's first reimagining.
