CeeCee: Underground Railroad Cinderella
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."

★ "Rewarding, potent, and wholly original."
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
A fun and fast-paced history of how the number zero was invented, forgotten, invented, lost, invented, abandoned, and invented again!
★ ". . . brilliant. . . . an epic story of the little nothing that could, and did, launch or change engineering, modern physics, computing, and electronics forever."
