The Cinderella Rules 19 reviews Donna Kauffman
Bantam, 2003
Great Read...watch out who is reading it though...
+ loved it!
This was a fantastic book, but only for girls(I don't think a guy would want to read this) over 14 or 15, some very mature parts, I loved it, but wouldn't want a little sister reading it.
