As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Gilded Ashes by Rosamund Hodge
I enjoy a good story by Rosamund Hodge. This is a very interesting retelling of Cinderella. It's fresh and original. A relationship between Maia and the prince is established before the ball, in which we watch it grow. We also watch Maia and the prince grow as young people to maturity. What's great is even the step sisters are fleshed out with intent and purpose in their life and what drives them to be who they are. Good story. Fine for any library. Enjoy.
