Review
This well written version of the Cinderella story is unique and entertaining. Cinderella and her pet rat have much in common to their surprise. The story is told from Cinderella's and the Rat Prince's points of view with alternating chapters. There is a cast of characters that keep the story moving quickly. The plot is full of adventure and suspense. Although there are numerous versions of this popular fairy tale, this is a clever and exceptional one. It is sophisticated, yet delightful. I highly recommend this for 5th graders and up.
Overall Book Score: excellent
