Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer


Cindy Ella is tired of hearing about prom. She doesn't care about her dress, date, and shoes. It doesn't help that that's all that her stepsisters are talking about. Cindy turns to the school newspaper to get her opinion out there. After trashing the prom, it looks like no one is on her side except for her best friends. and surprisingly Adam Silver, who just happens to be Cindy's crush. Can she still have her fairy tale ending. I always love Robin Palmer's takes on classic fairy tales. The book felt fast paced and I enjoyed the slight surprises - although they were pretty easy to see from the beginning - they were still interesting when they happened. The ending seemed too happy and unrealistic. But other than that I can't complain about anything else in the story.                                                                                                       My favorite part of the story was Cindy. She is a much stronger and more empowering main character than Cinderella. Even though her stepsisters and her "fairy godmother" still had the same roles as they did in the original Cinderella, they felt quite original.
