13yo Dawn gets sent to live with her aunt and her aunt’s wife in Castletown, a small town in the middle of nowhere, that has spotty or no cell-phone reception. Dawn is in desperate need of friends, but when she gets snubbed by the school mean girl, she makes a deal with an evil fairy after pricking her finger on an antique spindle. Soon people are falling asleep right and left and danger to Dawn increases as the sleeping spreads.
Standard Disney fare. Dawn is in way over her head with the mistress of evil in this modern take on Sleeping Beauty. The plot is rather simplistic, but if you like Disney villains winning the day in a modern remake, this is your series of books.
