Good night, sleep tight,
Don't let the magic mirror bite...
My friend Robin and I were going to have the best sleepover ever. We'd stay up late, eat s'mores, share secrets--and NOT knock on my magic mirror. I was NOT getting pulled into another fairy tale.
But the mirror STILL ends up pulling me and my brother, Jonah, into Sleeping Beauty's story--and this time, Robin comes with us, too! When Robin pricks her finger on the spindle, I know we're in trouble. Now she's fast asleep, Sleeping Beauty is wide awake, and I have to:
- Host a fake birthday party for Jonah
- Find a prince to wake up Robin
- Avoid getting cursed by scary fairies
We only have ten hours to make things right...or this day will become a nightmare!

Zoe Elias has big musical dreams. As soon as she gets a glossy baby grand piano, she’ll be on her way. Trouble is, what Zoe gets is a wood-grained, vinyl-seated, wheeze-bag organ. The Perfectone D-60.
How will she ever be discovered as a prodigy when her lesson book is The Hits of the Seventies? Not even a cha-cha beat can make the theme song from The Brady Bunch sound like Beethoven.

But when she enters the annual Perform-O-Rama organ competition, Zoe discovers that life is full of surprises–and that maybe a little lopsidedness will help her find what she’s really hoping for.
