4-6Wings & Co. series.
Illustrated by
David Roberts.
As an infant, Emily Vole was impulsively adopted by the (deliciously nasty) Dashwoods. After the birth of their own triplets, the Dashwoods demote Emily to Cinderella status. Fortunately, when Emily is nearly nine, an elderly neighbor and her talking cat change everything. While reaching a satisfying conclusion, this first brisk, entertaining series entry leaves enough dangling threads to make readers eager for the next.
