Cute
I think that the theme is that you should try and try again.
I read this with my kindergartner for a bed-time chapter book. We both enjoyed this twist on the Cinderella story. It is a short, fun read and great for young readers.
This would be a great read-aloud for children. There wasn't much about it that sounded like a spin on the Cinderella story, but I enjoyed all the elements of different fairy-tales that were put into it. A fun read!
It was a cute re telling of the Cinderella story told from a male perspective. It was s quick, fun read. I read it for my YA Bookclub. Any fan of Cinderella would enjoy this book
Bruh I literally used to act this out with my brother as a kid.
This book is pretty much like Cinderella, but instead it's about a boy who lives with his two really mean brothers and his grandma. The boys name in Ellis, but he got his name from his brothers by getting cinder all over himself, so that's why his name is Cinderellis. He is just a young boy that is very lonely and loves to invent things, but none of his family appreciates them. So he sets out to find the Princess Marigold because she was also lonely because her mom died and her father is always
Do you like retelling of fairy-tales? Gail Carson Levine is the author for you. She is witty, and pokes fun at fairy-tales all the while making you love the story even more.“When he was six years old, Ellis invented flying powder. He sprinkled the powder on his tin cup, and the cup began to rise up the chimney. He stuck his head into the fireplace to see how far up it would go. (The fire was out, of course.)” – Cinderellis and the Glass Hill by Gail Carson LevineJust by the first page, you can g...
This has its high points, especially in terms of funny moments. But somehow, I couldn't get into the story. It started out well but soon became repetitive. I wouldn't call this a faithful retelling because it has hardly any points of similarities with the original "Cinderella". Just the initial part has some points in common with the fairy tale. But still, worth a try for the humour.
Another enchanting fairy tale retelling by Gail Carson Levine. This time the hero is a resourceful but lonely farmer boy given the nickname Cinderellis by his unkind brothers. And the herione is a gentle but lonely princess living in the castle of her father who often leaves her to go on quests.
I enjoyed the animal perspectives, the spoofs of quests and the subverted Cinderella icons. Imagining Burt and Ralph as the Weasley twins took away some of my frustration with those characters.
This was a super cute gender swap loosely based on Cinderella plus any fairytale where a guy has to do some impossible task to gain the hand of the princess. Both Ellis and princess Marigold were lonely and seeking companionship from their family, which was sad, but gave them good motivation for a short story.
Tessa made me read this to her
Cinderella recast as a farm boy? Sold. Another clever retelling of a classic fairy tale by the mistress of the form, Gail Carson Levine.
Mom and I found this to be a quick, adorable listen. It was an interesting retelling of Cinderella, with Cinderella being a boy in this version, mom and I have read some version were Cinder is male. Over all we recommended this as a quick read or listen.
I really liked this book because it had so much surplices and it really did the unsuspected. I liked how the author made the characters switch on and off for talking. So that we could have both opp-ions and so that we could here both sides of them at different times. I liked how that they both felt lonely and that they had nobody. I think that Marigold changed the most because at first she was so lonely. She wanted her dad to stay home so much from his adventures so that she could be with her d
This one was a bit too silly for my taste.
I really love this fairy tale! It is a sweet, simple story, and it's a great take on Cinderella.
It starts out with both Cinderellis and the princess talking about their lonely and miserable lives. The princesses dad likes to go on quests and Cinderelllises brothers not ever talking to him. There is a contest coming up to decide who the princess will marry. Horses were eating all of the boys crops so he then trapped the horses and ended up with 3 amazing horses. He would have to climb the glass hill to be able to marry the princess. Read the book to see if he can do it. There are many diff
Cinderellis and the Glass Hill is a fun short retelling of a couple of different fairy tales. Although it is part of a series (The Princess Tales) it can easily be read alone without the other books. The series is all set in the same world and the different books correspond and interact with each other but they are more of companion books rather than sequels and prequels. This is a short book and is easily read by an adult or older reader within a hour; however, for someone who likes to savor bo...
