Hale provides readers with yet another creative take on the Cinderella story. In this story, Ani (the protagonist and Cinderella character) was once a princess, but later becomes a servant as she seeks to reclaim her throne. This is a riches-to-rags-to riches again story (unlike the normal rags to riches Cinderella story). Girls who love Cinderella stories as well as adventure stories will love this book. This book would also be a great resource for anyone wishing to examine how our time period and culture has shaped the Cinderella we have today.
