I thought that the king and queen wanted a child but they didn’t have one. After years they had one. The Queen called the girl Rosalind. They sent a note to the 7 fairies of the Kingdom. The message said “can you be Rosalind’s Godmothers?”. the fairies said yes. So they all went to the Hall in the Kingdom and there was a mean fairy. The mean fairy said that when Rosalind was 16 years old she must die. Then Rosalind grew up to the age of 16. The King and Queen were out but Rosalind went exploring through the Palace. She saw a narrow door and she went in. There was a old lady there and she had a spinning wheel. Rosalind wanted to have a go and the old woman said “yes”. When she had a go there was a secret needle which poked her. She didn’t die, she went into a deep deep sleep. There was a Prince that went in to the castle and he gave Rosalind a kiss. She woke up. The end. I would recommend it. I liked when the mean fairy thought that Rosalind would die but she actually went into a deep sleep.

Overall it was a really good book. I enjoyed it a lot. I’m the version of the book I read, the main character was called Celestine and the wicked fairy greasy jean and cursed a spinning wheel and Celestine touched it when she was 16 and true loves kiss saved her. My favourite character was Celestine because she was a princess. I would recommend this book.
