The Cinderella legend gets a realistic twist in this enchantingly believable adventure from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix that Booklist calls &;provocative and entertaining.&;

Ella dreams of going to the royal ball and marrying Prince Charming, just like every commoner in the kingdom of Fridesia. But after she is chosen to marry the prince&;no magic involved&;life with the royal family is not the happily ever after that Ella imagined. Pitiless and cold, the royals try to mold her into their vision of a princess. Ella&;s life becomes a meaningless schedule of protocol, which she fears she will never grasp. And Prince Charming&;s beautiful face hides a vacant soul.

Even as her life turns to misery, stories persist that Ella&;s fairy godmother sent her to the ball: How else could the poor girl wear a beautiful gown, arrive in a coach, and dance in those glass slippers? But Ella got herself into the castle on her own&;and that&;s the only way she&;s going to get out.
