The
Plot:
Finding
his mysterious princess by trying her glass slipper on every maiden in Chalmers
Kingdom sounded like a brilliant scheme until the silly thing slid quite easily
on the foot of the wrong girl. Now how is Prince Charming supposed to find his
true love? Unbeknownst to either, his mother, the queen, and her feisty twin
(Cinderella’s infamous fairy godmother) have a lesson to impart—impulsive
decisions do not a future king make!
About the Author:
I
love sports—the NFL, the NBA… I hold season tickets to the Oklahoma City
Thunder. I love Broadway musicals, too. I have a BA in Management Information
Systems and a vocal minor. I love travel, reading, writing, and just to round
things out and scratch the singing itch—karaoke.
Review:
I
just hate it when I read a book by a friend that’s poorly edited. Ms. Wheeler
tells a really good story with a much more complex relationship between Ella
and her sisters than the usual version of Cinderella. Her stepmother is still
the scheming, social climber of the Grimm version, but she doesn’t have to lop
off parts of her daughters’ feet to get the shoe to fit. Esmerelda and
Cinderella used to swap shoes all the time before the Count died, when the
girls were friends. Imagine both Cinderella and the Prince’s horror when the
glass slipper slid right onto the wrong foot! And so, the fun begins.
As
I said at the beginning, my problem with the book was the editing, or lack
thereof. There were mixed tenses, misused words; in short, the grammar was
terrible. It really is a shame, because Ms. Wheeler shows a deep knowledge of
history and mythology, and her fractured fairy tale would be a great read with
better grammar.
