I picked this up expecting a quick, easy and light read. Instead, I got a surprisingly well thought out and interesting story that pulled together different fairy tales and did it very well. Thirteen year old Reveka is a herbalist apprentice who has set herself the task of curing the silly curse on the twelve princesses. Every morning, the princesses wake up exhausted, shoes in tatters yet seeming not to have left their room. No one can figure out why this happens and though many have tried to figure it out, they have been rewarded by being put into a deep sleep that slowly kills them. Reveka is new to the town and because of this does not harbor the prerequisite fear and dread the situation requires. All she cares about is breaking the curse so she can get the huge reward being offered by the Prince to free his daughters from their fate. But as Reveka begins to understand the nature of the princesses' ailment, she realizes that this is a much bigger problem than she had expected. Along the way, she discovers friendships, loyalty and the depths of sacrifice she never knew she was capable of. She begins to grow from a girl who is only interested in the reward because it will allow her to escape her current life, into one that that truly cares about the town and its inhabitants. When her friend gets poisoned and ends up in the deep sleep, Reveka furiously races to find an answer to the puzzle. As much as I enjoyed this book, I did begin to notice a pacing problem after chapter 22. The story became slow moving and though somewhat interesting information was being passed on, I did not find it as compelling as the first half. Also the end of the book was not very satisfying. I wanted to see a clear picture of what would happen to this remarkable girl. There was an attempt at a resolution but one that would only be okay if there is another book to follow. In fact, I am really hoping that is the case cause I want to see what happens with Reveka. I'm not sure I would recommend this book to anyone younger than fifteen because there are some themes here that seem a bit more mature than the ten and up recommendation that the back of the book suggests. For example, the prince having illegitimate daughters and the way he acquires these illegitimate daughters seems a tad mature for this age group. I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know Reveka. **Review copy received from Amazon.com's Vine Program.

i love tom perrotta. i think he has a vile sense of humor (in a good way) and he gets that contemporary public education is an exercise in demonology,with its burnt out teachers, overpassionate teachers, clueless students, malicious students, inept administration...the list goes on. that is never my problem with this book. nor is his depiction of fucked-up suburbia. i've lived in the suburbs - they're fascinating microcosms. i also wasn't expecting another "little children" (a book i loved like five years ago). that novel was its own little slice of suburbanightmare. honestly, i picked up "the abstinence teacher" because the name sounded like something i'd read. and the premise itself isn't inherently flawed - sexual health teacher says, "some people enjoy [masturbation]" and brings down the wrath of khan. or jesus. or people who think they know exactly what frosts jesus's cookies. she is then forced to teach an "abstinence is best" version of the same class, with its inflated statistics and "scare 'em into keeping it in their pants" techniques, and she goes a little batshit crazy (culminating in the funniest scene i've read in a long time during which two 9th graders act out an exercise in just sayin' no during her class). all that was fine. and, point of fact, the character of tim also didn't upset me. i can deal with born-again, former-drugged out rockstar sex addicts. but what did upset me was all the christian rhetoric (not that i felt it was being pushed on me, because it clearly wasn't perrotta's agenda). it just tapped into a direction that part of this country seems fixated on heading toward and that scared the ever-livin' crap out of me. i am not a nutjob leftist (i prefer the term "moderate liberal")and i honestly believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs (provided they're not breaking any government-imposed laws), but so much of the book had to do with the inadvertant sharing of messages (and both tim and ruth are guilty of this in their own ways - tim with his prayer and ruth with her sex-ed crusade) and how those messages can impact those around us. negatively, positively, apathetically. for about 67% of the novel, i wanted to hit people. then, ruth hit a person, and i felt better. overall, though, I just didn't get it. sure, they were complicated, well-fleshed out character studies, but they went nowhere. fast. the end feels so anticlimactic that i found myself flipping through the novel looking for pages to a storyline i must have missed. i never found it.
