Cinderellis and the Glass Hill (The Princess Tales)

Reader reviewed by AbbyLiz

I am constantly looking for new stories to read to my cousins and they are fans of fairy tales yet dont want to hear the classics. I loved Levine's work when I was younger and I saw her story over cinderellis. I knew that my cousins would love it and they have! It is now a favourite at our house!

She is such a good author! After Ella Enchanted, i started to read some more of her books and happened to trip on this one. I read it and found a funny twist to Cinderella in the end. A girl is about to marry but she met this boy, cnderellis, she likes, and cannot find him again. Her father says, whoever crosses the glass hill on a horse can marry his girl. So she puts grease on the hill so that every one slips. What she does not know is that Cinderellis is among the competitors...

Cinderellis and the Glass Hill is a version of the modern fairy tale, but in this story, Cinderella is Cinderellis, a guy, and he needs to climb a glass hill to marry Marigold, the princess. Cinderellis is an inventor who was always left out by his older siblings. Now he's using his inventions to climb a glass hill and get the three golden apples.

This was a cute story, about a reject boy and a reject princess who find love, though not in the expected way. I recommend it, it's really cute.

This story is about a boy who is Cinderella- thus Cinderellis. He makes beneficial inventions and attempts to make it up a glass hill to get to the princess. I like this book because it's not like other fairy tales that deal with shallowness.
