Bookroo's summary

Cinder Edna and Cinderella live next door, both under the thumb of wicked stepmothers. While Cinderella dreams of fairy godmothers, Edna relies on her wit and resourcefulness. When the king announces a ball, both girls seize the chance for change. But as they pursue their dreams, only one discovers that happiness doesn't always come from a prince. Will Edna's practical skills and humor lead her to a more fulfilling life? Discover how two different approaches to adversity reveal the true path to joy.

From the publisher

Cinderella and Cinder Edna, who live with cruel stepmothers and stepsisters, have different approaches to life; and, although each ends up with the prince of her dreams, one is a great deal happier than the others.
