The Off-Beat Cinder Ella

who wants her shoe back...without the Prince

Beschreibung

What if your fairy godmother arrived late, in support shoes and with arthritis, and thought candy apple red Porsches were pumpkins? Meet Cinder Ella, a rebel with a knack for getting tangled in tree branches and her camo pants. As if losing her free time for exploits wasn't enough, she now juggles wicked stepsisters who demand spam pizza and never-ending chores. The Prom King's bash is the year's hottest ticket, but Cinder Ella is stuck on stair-sitting duty until a scruffy fairy godmother swoops in with magical (and somewhat off-brand) solutions. With a wardrobe revamp and a racy ride, she's ready to face the tunes of destiny-but she'd rather enjoy the cool night and chat with David, a sidekick with charm and mischief. When the clock's magic ticks away, one shoe slip leaves the Prom King on a treasure hunt for his mystery dance partner. But when he finds Cinder Ella, she's got nothing but sass and a clear message: Just hand over the shoe, "Prince." Meanwhile, David's got her back, her heart, and a surprising plan for the sunset scene-stealer of a friendship they never saw coming. Crack up with every twist in this uproarious spin on a classic fairytale.Are you ready to dance to the offbeat rhythm and see what true adventure awaits?children's books that don't put parents to sleep

I live in the middle of nowhere in northwestern Michigan. Sitting at my curly maple desk, I craft wacky children's stories while admiring the treetops, visiting critters and impossibly blue skies.Anne Murray is my author's name for my children's books. That was my granny's maiden name. I was named for her as she was called Nan. Even "Nanny Goat." Have no idea why. The goat part, I mean. She was always a good sport and willing to try new things. And I thought that she had a lot of courage to move from a very small town in northern Minnesota to Texas in her fifties.Even though she lived 1300 miles away, I loved her dearly. She would send me letters sharing what she had for dinner like peas and enclose a stick of Juicy Fruit gum. When we visited each spring, she would cook an enormous turkey dinner that could have fed us all week. But she loved it when my dad would take all of us to Luby's cafeteria and she could snag her favorite dessert--lemon meringue pie. We were happy to see her eat, hoping she would gain a few pounds on her 89-lb. frame.So my children's books honor my grandmother and her acceptance, humor and great love.After decades of finding all kinds of excuses to avoid writing, I am now playing with children's books. Upside-down fairy tales. Ghanian folk tales. Childhood memories. Who knows what else?Stay tuned for the next adventure.I love to hike, camp, kayak and enjoy nature's wonders. I talk to visiting critters...who sometimes respond with their behavior. Delight in a treat of dark chocolate. Scamper in dappled sunlight. And skip when no one is looking.
