A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn

This story begins with the typical look at a fairy tale princess placed in today's fast paced world. After sleeping for three hundred years, Talia is awakened by Jack, a lazy and directionless party boy. Both are selfish and immature, but the book improves as they learn to look outside themselves and respect the people around them. This is a light and entertaining fairy tale retelling, but through the development of her characters, Flinn shows the importance of family relationships as well as the need to look for good in everyone.
