Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly
You know the story of Cinderella, but what happened to her stepsisters after she went off to marry the Prince? After both of the girls cut off part of their feet to try to fit into the glass slipper, the village shunned them after their treatment of Ella became known. Isabelle believes if she had only been pretty, like Ella, everything would be different. But would it, and is that truly what is in her heart?
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
