Sleeping Beauty: A Modern Fairy Tale
Description
He wanted to save her. He got it all wrong.
Carl is the only one left. All Beth's friends were sad when she fell into a coma two years ago at the age of fourteen. But life moved on, and so did they. Except Carl. He still comes to see her. He still visits two to three times a week, talking to her and hoping she will wake.
Beth's mother, Marie, knows the truth. She knows why Beth is in that coma. She knows it was Rex, Beth's father, who did it. She knows he hired a witch to cast a spell on her Pretty Princess until she is old enough to marry, until his hand-picked protégé wakes her with True Love's First Kiss.
But if whomever Rex chooses can break the curse, then so can Carl. He's loved Beth since he first met her in sixth grade. Marie knows. She has a plan. And maybe she's not as crazy as everyone thinks.
