Cinderella and the Beast; Beauty and the Glass Slipper by Kim Bussing
3.0
Cinderella and the Beast (or, Beauty and the Glass Slipper) by Kim Bussing [ Random House Books for Young Readers #NetGalley ]
What I liked:
- retellings are always so much to read; and this was such a fun premise with the idea of two princesses - Belle and Ella - finding themselves switched
- the elements of the stories that were changed to keep things interesting and not so predictable was well done
What I didn't:
- some aspects were harder to believe given that Belle and Ella were supposed to be 12 years old in this story; Ella being left behind in the castle by Henrik or everyone just accepting that Belle is okay working as a maid because she's now an "orphan"
