Lit Lesson by Dena Argerson

This is the story of Cinderella and her neighbor Cinder Edna. They each have to deal with a wicked stepmother and cruel stepsisters like the traditional fairy tale. The main difference between Cinderella and Cinder Edna is that Cinder Edna is resourceful and finds a way to make her life more enjoyable through her various interests. Both Cinders find themselves at the ball and losing a shoe at midnight. But will they both find their prince and end up living happily ever after?
