In this retelling of the Cinderella story, a young enslaved girl secretly teaches herself to read and escapes to freedom with help from a different kind of prince.

★ "With rich language and a complex subject matter deftly touched on throughout, this is suitable for intermediate students; it’s no fairy tale, but a retelling that amplifies courage and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges."
