Rich boy. Poor girl. A perfect match if they can just move past their differences: her pride, his prejudice. A modern-day YA retelling of Pride and Prejudice.
When Mia Baker begins at an elite school on a scholarship, she's instantly besotted with the hot but arrogant Finn Davis. But when she overhears him commenting on her attractiveness compared to her beautiful sister Jade, Mia takes an instant dislike to him.
When Finn's best friend Charlie takes an interest in Jade and invites both sisters to his family's lake house for the weekend, Mia and Finn are forced into close proximity. Despite their differences, their attraction to each other continues to grow.
But Finn's not about to admit he might actually like Mia. She's on a scholarship, and she's failing English. Then there's Grayson Wang, his mortal enemy, who Mia can't seem to get enough of.
When Charlie starts dating Mia's sister, Finn begins to doubt just how genuine Jade's feelings are for him, so he warns his friend to cut Jade loose. When Mia finds out Finn is to blame for her sister's heartbreak, it only continues to fuel her harsh judgments of him.
But, if there is to be a happily ever after, Mia must overcome her pride, and Finn, Mia's socioeconomic status.
Aurora isn't the well-mannered, picture-perfect princess her fairy tale paints her out to be. She never bothered to brush her hair, got dirt on her dresses, and was always in fights. She also loved sword fighting, much to her father's dismay.
When Aurora's evil stepmother Elspeth kills her, Aurora's servant casts a spell to bring her back from the dead and keep her safe until love's true kiss wakes her from her sleep.
Love's true kiss comes in the form of Phillip, an immature thieving commoner on the run from the dashingly handsome Prince Adam. Masquerading as Prince Adam, Phillip agrees to help Aurora find her kingdom so that he can steal from it.
But Aurora is in possession of a magical stone. A magical stone that Elspeth wants so desperately that she will stop at nothing to get it, including killing whoever stands in her way.
A middle-grade retelling of Sleeping Beauty, Aurora and the Thief is a fun-filled adventure packed with witty banter, robbing kingdoms, magical battles, defeating evil enchantresses, and finding true love.
