She is a strong, intelligent young woman who struggles to find and trust her own skills. The princess is the ultimate hero of her own fate. Her escape from the evil fairy's grasp leads her to Prince Phillip, who, in her dream world, becomes one of her few allies in her attempt to finally defeat Maleficent. The world she thought was real has been a construct of her dreams. When Aurora overhears a confession of truth from Maleficent, her world begins to crumble. Maleficent rescues the kingdom and princess from her neglectful parents, taking the crown for herself. Meanwhile, Aurora is alive and living a normal life, or so she believes. Prince Phillip throws his sword at the dragon version of Maleficent, but when he approaches the sleeping Princess Aurora and kisses her lips, he, too, succumbs to the sleeping curse. Gr 7 Up-What if Sleeping Beauty never woke up? This work asks readers to rethink the classic Disney version.
