My review of the cool new book "Cinderskella"
Posted: 04 Nov 2013, 16:48
I received a copy of Cinderskella from the authors Amie and Bethany Borst, a mother-daughter writing team, in exchange for a review and am happy to give it a high rating. I would have given it 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Wait a minute, I CAN!
This original tale, told by an eleven year old girl who finds out that her recently deceased mother left her with a curse, was an awesome read!
At first I wondered why a loving mother would want her child to turn into a skeleton every night. Despite all the humour that goes on, I felt a bit of pity for the main character because her father could not handle her new state. Luckily, Cindy discovered the cool reason behind her curse and... Her happiness was interrupted by her father's news that he had remarried. The story was a very interesting twist to the popular Cinderella story. It is not as predictable as you would think though. In fact, it is full of surprises.
The book was fun, slightly spooky, and super funny. It made me laugh out loud (literally).
It is rare that I will read the same book more than once, but I think I will make an exception for Cinderskella. I loved it!!!
