Cinders and Sparks - reviewed by Chloe

Perfect for readers of 7-9, Cinders & Sparks is a fresh, funny and fabulous take on Cinderella. A magic girl. A talking dog. Let's get this party started...

Cinders lives a boring life with her selfish stepsisters and mean stepmother. So when her wishes start magically coming true it's a surprise to say the least.

Then Cinders meets her fairy godmother: she's magic, she can fly and she's called Brian?
But Brian is not very reliable and Cinders is not very good at magic. Now her life isn't boring at all - it's total chaos!

This book was amazing. It was about a little girl called Cinders and she has a dog called Sparks. She has a fairy godmother called Brian and 2 step-sisters. She also has a step mother. Her real mother is a fairy and her dad is sad when she mentions her. The illustrations were fabulous! I think the funniest part was when she went to the ball and she saw that everyone, apart from her, was wearing a powdered wig - but there were loads of really funny parts. I would recommend it for children aged 7-11 years old.
