Step Sister By Jennifer Donnelly

This sideways, feminist retelling of Cinderella follow’s Isabelle’s quest, which is as much emotional journey as rousing adventure involving her lost love for a horse, a young man, and her stepsister Ella, not to mention her passion and skill as a strategist and fighter (Age 12 and older).

Review Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly This book, right here was everything I have ever loved about fairytales It was whimsically dark and rife with mysterious players, following an adorable love story that unfolds only after the main character has learned what they were missing. Judging purely by the title of the book the cynical side of me expected this to be a retelling of the traditional fairy tale from the viewpoint of the “ugly stepsisters”.
