Once Upon a Curse
by E.D. Baker (2005)
About this book
Many years ago a slighted fairy placed a curse on a beautiful young princess--a curse that caused her and all her female descendants to turn into mean, ugly witches if they ever touched a flower after turning sixteen. Now, Princess Emma, who is about to turn sixteen herself, is determined to break the spell once and for all. Emma travels back in time to the day the curse was placed on her ancestor in the hope of preventing the curse from being cast. Unfortunately she isn't successful in her efforts, but she does learn how to break it. Armed with this knowledge, Emma returns to her own time full of hope. But disaster ensues and Emma is about to give up completely--until true love shows itself in the most unexpected place of all. With a bit of courage, a pinch of luck, and of course, a healthy dose of magic, Princess Emma charms her way through the third hilarious adventure in this series.

Mere enchantment
Alicia Rivoli
"When a newly formed group of friends finds themselves fighting for survival, little did they know that was just the beginning. When Chloe, Megan, Jason and Zach are forced to take cover in a nearby cave from a violent storm, they find their new friend, Preston, there as well. Zach guides the group through the cave but as they go deeper strange things begin to happen and they find themselves separated in a magical kingdom surrounded by unusual people and wizards. Things get even more dangerous as they travel the kingdom in search of the city of Mere and each other. As their journey unfolds, Preston discovers that the bedtime stories he was told as a child are true and that his rightful place in time must be realized. The kingdom itself has gone under attack as Jacan, a traitor to the crown, forces his armies through the magical borders. Looking back, Preston should have recognized that it was all real. He should have seen the signs. But how could he have known?"--Publisher description.
Clochette et le trésor perdu
[traduction, Valérie Ménard
Chaque titre de cette collection propose une adaptation d'un long métrage d'animation de la filiale Disney. Celui-ci est consacré à la Fée Clochette, qui transporte ses lecteurs dans la Vallée des Fées. Sis au coeur du pays imaginaire, cet endroit merveilleux, gouverné par la reine Clarion, abrite une multitude de créatures ailées qui mettent à profit leurs différents talents pour rythmer la succession des saisons. Or, rien ne va plus lorsque la pierre de Lune qui doit permettre au Grand Arbre, source de tous les pouvoirs des fées, de se régénérer est accidentellement détruite. Secondée par une luciole et son ami Terence, Clochette se met en quête d'une nouvelle pierre, qu'elle doit ramener à temps pour les festivités automnales. Des illustrations de synthèse animent le texte dense de cette première lecture de facture commerciale. [SDM].
