Synopsis
A year after their first adventure, the twins learn that their mother has been kidnapped by the Enchantress, the sorceress who cursed Sleeping Beauty and has now returned to conquer the fairy-tale kingdoms. Barred from the usual way in, Alex and Conner slip back through a magic painting, and with Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Jack and Froggy they set out on a flying ship to collect the possessions needed to forge a wand strong enough to stop her.
