“Rhyming text accompanies this brightly colored Cinderella riff for the modern girl. This version set in space updates some aspects of the classic story modern readers may find incongruous (the prince not being able to recognize Cinderella by just looking at her, a shoe fitting only one person, etc.) and ends on a note independent women will adore: "I'm far too young for marriage, but I'll be your chief mechanic".”
