Illustrated by
Raphaëlle Barbanègre.
In this feminist fairy tale, Cinderella answers a fairy godmother's ad but gets an unsightly dress, beastly slippers, and a turnip coach. When Cinderella wins the prince's weird dance contest and discovers that he, too, "was much better in the magazine," she runs off to a girls-only job fair. Zany digital illustrations depict a fairy-tale realm that--like our real world--is far from picture perfect.
