Good submitted by ColeenT on July 15, 2011, 2:36pm it was a good twist on the classic cinderella story
Not up to my expectations submitted by Tee Chuan on August 2, 2011, 5:38pm This book is OK, but it's not the best. Donna Jo Napoli is a good writer, though. I recommend checking out her other books.
