(3) YA In this Cinderella story set in ancient China, Xing-Xing, called "Lazy One," is treated as a servant and fall guy for her stepmother's sins. Her half-sister's suffering from bound, rotting feet leads to Xing-Xing's personal liberation and a discovery that enables her to find happiness. Using vivid, sensual imagery, Napoli artfully evokes emotional investment in her protagonist's plight.
