Cinderella Girl was a fun read for me.  With the original "Cinderella" fresh in my mind, it was fun to see the parallels and the creative changes that A. L. Smith made during her penning of this story.  The characters were re-developed with extra personality traits which created a new kind of engagement for the reader.  Smith did a good job of creating mental pictures for the reader as well as building emotion into the plot - creating empathy - which is what drew me into the book.A.L. Smith presents a well-written, highly-descriptive book here that is sure to please.  You will be pulled in emotionally along as well as realized a few "ah-ha" moments when you compare this new story with the old.  Cinderella Girl is very pleasing and enjoyable.  I am glad I gave it a chance.  Good work!
