Shoe-losing, adverb-using, word-creating Cinderella returns in this sequel to Cinderella Smith. This time, Cinderella prepares for a spelling bee, makes pancakes with her cool aunt, and stands up to classmate Rosemary T., who is "very, extremely mean" to Cinderella and her friends. Without condescension, Barden sensitively and gracefully handles the topic of bullying; Goode's line drawings add levity.
