This intricately woven twist on Cinderella is an enchanting book you won’t be able to put down.


About the author:
Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee was born the fourth of seven children to a family of avid readers, movie quoters, and sports fanatics. She graduated with a degree in English from Brigham Young University in 2004. She is a mother of five rambunctious, adorable boys and while you read this, she is probably folding laundry . . . or should be.

From Reidhead Randomness:

This was such a fun book!  My daughters (ages 13 and 11) read it and loved it!  It was a newer version of Cinderella.  It has lots of surprises, and familiar Cinderella things, but it is a super fun...NEW take on the story we all know so well.  It is well written, and a fun book to read!  It would be a great one for the Christmas break!
