Description
Book Synopsis
The second book in the Sisters Ever After series of fairy-tale retellings from the point of view of the siblings in the background, this is the thrilling story of Cinderella's never-before-mentioned third "evil" stepsister, Tirza. Meet Cinderella's third "wicked" stepsister, Tirza. For years, Tirza has lived with the shame of what her family did to Cinderella. Against everyone's advice, Cinderella--now Queen Ella--took a chance on young Tirza. She gave Tirza a home in the castle instead of banishing her. The queen told everyone Tirza was good and kind, not cruel like her older sisters. But now Queen Ella's famous glass slippers are missing, and there's only one suspect. . . . Tirza may have tried them on . . . but she didn't steal them. Now she must find the true thief before she loses her royal home. But as Tirza gets closer to the truth, she finds herself getting closer to something else: her sisters, who might not be quite as evil as Cinderella claims.Review Quotes
Praise for the Sisters Ever After series: ★ "The heart of the story lies in the utterly authentic relationship between the sisters, who squabble, tease, and hurt each other--and love one another with a fierceness that absolutely demands a happily-ever-after. Effervescent, thrilling, and practically perfect in every way."--Kirkus, starred review ★ "This retelling adds an original twist to a beloved classic and gives a younger sister a chance to earn a little of the spotlight. A fun, compelling story...recommended for younger siblings, fans of princess stories, and fantasy lovers."--SLJ, starred review "A fantastically dark and twisty Sleeping Beauty retelling, full of secrets, danger, fairies who are truly scary, and a complicated sisterly relationship that I adored." --Stephanie Burgis, author of Kat, Incorrigible "A compelling, delightful, topsy-turvy Sleeping Beauty retelling. Princess Briony is not one to wait for wake-up kisses, she'd rather head straight out into an adventure. Such a fun read!"--Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief and Winterling "Incorporating surprising twists and subverting tropes to emphasize sibling bonds over romance, Cypess creates a fun tale with a strong heroine..."--PW

I found this book on a random internet list for books to read aloud to your kids. My two kids, aged 9 and 6, love it to the point that I've had to get the others. It is a well written and clever story. The narrative flows well for reading aloud.
