“This book is an educator’s dream and is sure to delight any reader.… its 25 possible story versions was pure genius that speaks to readers of any background.”

—Good E Reader

“Cinderella Spinderella is a marvelously told, beautifully illustrated book”

—A.V. Club News

★★★★ The evil stepsisters are super hateful and are easy to dislike… This more modern version of Cinderella is sure to make this story seem fresh for a new generation of readers.  The fact you can choose how your Cinderella looks is a fun extra. It doesn’t change how the story goes, but it can add to the enjoyment of the story. I wish there were more stories out there that gave this option to children.

—Amanda Price, My Tangled Skeins


Please note: This is an ebook, not an app or a game, so the story remains the same while the Cinderellas and Princes vary. You will enjoy rereading the story, but don't expect to find lots of changes—except the seasons!
