Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Whatever After

Tonight the mirror swept us into Cinderella's fairy tale. Now, we are NOT messing this story up. No way. Cinderella is going to marry her prince just like she's supposed to.

Uh-oh. Cinderella broke her foot and there's massive swelling. The glass slipper won't fit, the prince won't know she's the one for him, and they won't live happily ever after. And it's all our fault!

To save the day we'll need to:

  • Learn how to use a dustpan
  • Stay out of jail
  • Find Cinderella a job
  • And make sure true love finds its way.

We just have to get it all done before the clock strikes twelve and the chance for a happily ever after is gone . . . forever!

Gr 3-6 This charming story serves as a solid follow-up to Fairest of All (Scholastic, 2012). Abby and her younger brother, Jonah, are transported from Smithville to the land of Floom, where they encounter Cinderella. As they did with Snow White in the first book, the siblings manage to alter the course of events and create a little chaos. The glass slipper has fallen on Cinderella's foot, causing it to swell and bruise, and her fairy godmother will not help her until she can prove that she is capable of being self-reliant. Can Abby and Jonah help Cinderella grow as a person before it's too late and she loses her happily ever after? It is fun to see Cinderella go from a damsel in distress to an independent young woman, not to mention refreshing. The characters are not as one-dimensional as one would assume, and the twists throughout the story make it a worthwhile fractured fairy tale.—Elizabeth Swistock, Orange County Public Library, VA
