Summary from Curious Fox
Prince Jack is strong, rich, a top trampolinist and very, very handsome …
but he is also cursed. When he is pricked by a sword he, and his whole
castle, fall sound alseep. It's up to the Princess Engineer to come and
save the day.
Nayu's thoughts
I
love Kay's older books so whooped when I spotted this picture book.
As expected, the Princess Engineer isn't a damsel in distress. She is
more than capable of looking after herself, and tackles each problem
she faces bravely. Her attitude towards Sleeping Handsome made me
smile, as did the colourful illustrations which added to the humour
and occasional danger. I love how Kay makes her characters the
opposite of what they would be traditionally, if that makes sense. I
want to reread this story already, and will definitely recommend it
to friends. I'm eager to see what other picture books she creates!
