Ella is different than most young women in the kingdom. She can quote any Shakespearean play. She befriends every animal she meets, including the scurrying mice living in the walls. She believes in the power of kindness, in changing customs that are not so kind. Ella has faced unspeakable tragedy and loss, and is at the mercy of her cruel stepfamily. And yet, Ella tries to keep a brave face, no matter how difficult this becomes.

Customer Reviews

Though we all know the story of Cinderella, it's still a pleasant read.

You know how the Cinderella story works. Even though you may not remember where you first heard it--Disney, your parents, school--we all know it. However, this book retells the live-action Disney movie in a fun and pleasant way, and we get to see more of the prince's point of view and reasoning. There are plenty of illustrations. Though they are not realistic, they are still colorful and welcoming. However much we know what will happen, it's still a pleasant read.
