\"\"Any mention of glass slippers instantly conjures Cinderella. Here she\u2019s Queen Ella, married six years to now-King Ciaran with two young royals of their own. Her two evil stepsisters were banished, but Ella kept her third stepsister, Tirza, close: \u201cI\u2019d hoped you were too young to have absorbed their hatred. I wanted you to have a chance. I raised you in the castle, as if you were my own daughter,\u201d she insists.<\/p>\n

Eleven-year-old Tirza knows that\u2019s rather an exaggeration, having been tucked in an out-of-the-way, mice-infested room. When those famous glass slippers disappear, all fingers point to Tirza.<\/p>\n

Narrator Keylor Leigh spiritedly takes on the task of proving Tirza\u2019s innocence, animatedly embodying characters familiar and new, clearly relishing the sororal showdown.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: Leigh energetically continues the delight of Cypess\u2019s cleverly crafted, girl-power-driven second book (after T\u00adhornwood<\/em><\/a>) of the \u201cSisters Ever After\u201d series.<\/p>\n

Rewriting, adapting, subverting the familiar has long been a popular literary trope \u2013 who can argue with universal appeal? Cinderella, especially, continues to be an evergreen favorite, appearing in multiple stories, often in surprising permutations. Read (and listen) on!<\/a><\/p>\n
