Deciding that she would rather be known as Ella, Cinderella meets her fairy godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with a prince—but that is where the familiar story for readers 8 to 12 ends. Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those around her by standing up for what she believes. In her debut children's book, Rebecca Solnit reimagines a classic fairytale with a feminist Cinderella, featuring gorgeous silhouettes from 19th-century illustrator Arthur Rackham on each page.
