This is what seems to be one of the many books that invites readers to see what Cinderella’s life is like after she marries her prince. Haddix creates this story to be a continuation of the original Cinderella. This story has all the necessary components to be considered a Cinderella story (such as the protagonist meeting her prince and going to live in the castle), but unlike the typical Cinderella she has a tough time living “happily ever after”. This would serve as a useful and great read for a reader who wishes to examine the ways that authors have imagined what Cinderella’s life would be like after she marries the prince since stories such as these are simply a continuation of the original story. It would also be a good resource for anyone wishing to show children that they should use their creativity to imagine the possibilities and to come up with their own endings to classic stories such as Cinderella.
