Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood
3.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade
Fairytale: Fractured Cinderella

Cinderella has a bit more going for her than her looks in this fractured fairytale. Having repaired her rocket, Cinderella is flying to the Royal Space Parade and happens upon the Prince. His ship has broken down and Cinderella offers to fix it. They both fly back together (uh, what happened to her ship?) and spend hours talking until she has to rush home. Having not seen her face, the Prince goes in search of her. In order to prove herself, the real Cinderella must fix a broken ship.
Spoiler When she does, the Prince asks for Cinderella to be his bride. Cinderella things and responds
"I'm far too young for marriage, but I'll be your chief mechanic"


Cute concept, great illustrations, but much detail and plot progression was missing from the story so children should be familiar with the original story.
