Cinderella Smith

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Diane Goode. Jacqueline-Kathryn "Cinderella" Smith helps new girl Erin investigate her stepsisters to see if they’re wicked. Shoe-losing Cinderella is also looking for her special ruby-red tap shoe for her dance recital. Cinderella's bouncy energy, captured expertly in Goode's emotive line drawings, is infectious; readers will delight in her expressions (e.g., dribbly-spit for Seattle drizzle) and enthusiastic use of adverbs ("very, extremely mad").
