 This book is such a wonderful retelling of the traditional tale of Cinderella, only better! There is no fancy ball and pumpkin transformations, but there is a magical experience of a girl falling in love with a prince. On her journey, she encounters fairies, ogres, elves, and more. This book is rightfully awarded a Newberry Award and I can see readers aged 8-14 not wanting to put this book down. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is hands down such a fantastic read.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. The reading level may be low, but the story is still fantastic. It's not like the average Cinderella story, where a ball changes everything, it's an even greater story of determination, courage, and love. I've taken experiences from this book and applied them to my life. The characters are very very well developed and you are able to feel like you are in the story. The twists put on this story make the experience intense and unpredictable. Even if you are an adult I highly recommend reading this book. It's a good read for any age.
