PRINCESS PRIMROSE and the CURSE OF THE BIG SLEEP
Moribunda McEvil (a wicked witch) is furious when she learns from Snitch, a tattle-tale fairy, that she has a beautiful niece (Princess Primrose) that she's never seen. With the help of her sidekick Eargore (a spell gone really, really wrong), she quickly sets out to ruin Primrose's life by putting a sleeping curse on her.
In a fit of remorse, Snitch runs to the palace to warn Queen Floribunda and King Rosario about the curse, but in his hurry he misunderstands and gets everything wrong. The Queen hires S. White & R. Rapunzel, Inquiry Agents, to help. But by the time they get to the palace, it's too late--Princess Primrose has had an accident and fallen into a Big Sleep.
With the assistance of their seven elven sidekicks (Nosy, Snoops, Sherlock, Stealthy, Creeper, Gumshoe and Marlowe), and a young witch who can only reverse spells (Miss Slumberkins), Snow White and Rapunzel Rapunzel search the kingdom for a Prince.
What they end up with is a an enchanted frog who's afraid of germs (Prince Thaddeus A. Pole, AKA “Tad”), a motley assortment of enchanted creatures and Weasel the Wizard, who makes a bargain with the detectives for an essential potion that will save the day.
Filled with twisted stories, fairy tale mash-ups, fun word play, misunderstandings and hilarious dialogue (and a happy, yet twisted ending), this story will delight anyone who still believes in magic. You'll never look at a frog the same way again.

An evil aunt casts a disastrous spell upon Princess Primrose right before her birthday party. To save the day, the detectives Rapunzel Rapunzel and Snow White search for a certified enchanted prince to come wake her up. Fairy tales collide in this humorous retelling of the Frog Prince story. Well-written, fast-paced, and plain good story spinning here. The author's whimsical illustrations fit the story beautifully. I'll be looking for the sequel to this one.
