Cinder by Marissa Meyer
January 3rd, 2012 from Feiwel & Friends
Futuristic, modern day Cinderella story with an Asian fantasy twist. Linh Cinder has the cruel stepmother, the two stepsisters (although one is actually quite nice), and the desire to be more than what she is. She daydreams of getting out of New Beijing and paving her own path even though she is seen as an outcast because she is not exactly entirely human. Things look helpless until Prince Kai steps in and asks her to fix one of his beloved gadgets. Doing so, Cinder uncovers a plot again the Prince and the entire kingdom. She juggles her horrid home-life, her longings to escape, and yes - the advances of the Prince. There isn't a glass slipper, but there is a ball! This story loosely follows the original fairy tale we all know and love. There are many variations that keep this story moving and it almost seems completely original. Totally interesting, captivating, and teens will love this retelling!
