CeeCee

Underground Railroad Cinderella

Coming August 12, 2025. Pre-order today!

By: Shana Keller / Illustrated by: Laura Freeman

Freedom is worth the risk.

In this retelling of the Cinderella story, CeeCee is an enslaved girl who longs to read, so she teaches herself. But nobody can know or she’ll be punished.

CeeCee does chores assigned by the woman of the house and takes care of two taunting young girls. She also spends time with Binty, the cook, who tells CeeCee tales of a prince named Moses who can help people find freedom.

As midnight strikes on one fateful night, it’s not a prince who CeeCee meets on the edge of the river. Who is it, then?
