Books like Sleeping Beauty's daughters by Diane Zahler
Princess Aurora faces a grim fate: a curse that will cause her to fall into an involuntary sleep for one hundred years. Nine, ten, or twelve—she is younger. But she is not alone. With her sister Luna, Aurora embarks on a daring expedition. They travel beyond familiar kingdoms in search of the fairy who can undo the curse that threatens to keep the princess trapped forever.
Along the way the sisters confront perils, magical obstacles, and the enduring bond of sibling love. The story weaves a blend of classic fairy-tale elements—such as enchanted springs, wily witches, and a radiant princess—into a fresh narrative that celebrates bravery, destiny, and the power of family.
