Cinderella Speaks Up: An Untraditional Graphic Novel
by Mari Bolte
lighthearted
medium-paced
This is a severely modern retelling of Cinderella. In this retelling a modern girl falls through the story back into Cinderella‘s land and becomes her friend. She brings with her the magic of modern technology. She helps Cinderella clean the house and calls her sister is bully and tells her dad he’s a typical storybook dad and he needs to stop it. It completely changes the way the story not only comes out in the end but the way the character sees it and turns it more into a story about fixing a bad family dynamic. In that way I think it works quite well. It’s rather cute but if you’re looking for a true Cinderella story stay away. If you’re looking for what a modern girl thinks about Cinderella give this one a try.
