Title: Cinderella’s Dress
Author: Shonna Slayton
Chapters: 41
Pages: 322
Genre: teen historical fiction fairy tale retold
Rating: 4 stars
Cinderella’s Dress is a retelling of Cinderella with a twist. This
story doesn’t focus on Cinderella instead it focuses on the dress and the
family that was trusted with protecting the dress. It is set in New York during WWII. Kate Allen
wants to design department store windows. But her mother wants to be a model. Her father
is overseas. Her brother is leaving for basic training along with her sort of beau.
Then her great aunt and uncle show up with a truck calming that it
contains Cinderella’s dress, and they are the protectors and keepers of the
dress.
At first I didn’t think I would like it because I’ve never been a
fan of Cinderella retellings. But I enjoyed this retelling because it didn’t
really focus on Cinderella. And true to fairy tale retellings there’s a prince.
