Renowned author Deborah Underwood creates a princess with the will and the smarts to gain her OWN freedom.

“A great one-on-one read for caregivers, and perfect for group sharing in a library or classroom setting.” – School Library Journal

When a fairy’s curse of a deathlike sleep caused by a paper cut-threatens to make her kingdom barren of books, it’s up to space princess Lex to break the spell and bring literature back to her people. Set in the universe of the acclaimed Interstellar Cinderella, this irrepressible fairytale rework will charm young readers with its brave heroine, its star-studded setting, and its hilarious, heartwarming happy ending.

Meg Hunt is the illustrator of Interstellar Cinderella and a printmaker, educator, and all-around maker of things. She was also the recipient of the 2015 Society of Illustrators Gold Medal Award for her contribution to the Illustrators 58 exhibition. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
