Synopsis
An instant New York Times bestseller Don't just fracture the fairy tale. Shatter it. Isabelle should be blissfully happy-she's about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn't the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince's heart. She's the ugly stepsister who cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella's shoe . . . which is now filling with blood. Isabelle tried to fit in. She cut away pieces of herself in order to become pretty. Sweet. More like Cinderella. But that only made her mean, jealous, and hollow. Now she has a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl. Evoking the darker, original version of the Cinderella story, Stepsister shows us that ugly is in the eye of the beholder, and uses Jennifer Donnelly's trademark wit and wisdom to send an overlooked character on a journey toward empowerment, redemption . . . and a new definition of beauty., * "Printz Honor winner Donnelly offers up a stunningly focused story that rips into the heart of familiar fairy tale.

    I bought a cabbage patch doll with blond hair, plaid skirt, blue shirt and embroidered jacket. she is adorable, exactly as described, came quickly, and packed very, very nicely for shipping. The seller went to a lot of extra work and time to make the packaging very pleasing including adding some extra goodies, and cards. This doll is going to be very cute in my collection. Thank You
