This book was so cute! A new take on the Cinderella story, the book gives an account of a ballerina who deals with the actions of a jealous girl who wants her position. Adorable.

What's not to like about fairy tale retellings? In Belinda and the Glass Slipper, Belinda auditions for the Grand Metropolitan Ballet's production of the classic, Cinderella. She has to beat out fellow ballerina, Lola, for the title role, and she does thanks to her huge, perfect feet. But Lola won't let that setback stop her from trying to steal the spotlight.

When I finished reading this, I wanted to read it again right away. It pays pays homage to Cinderella (naturally) with adorable winks and nudges, but stands alone as a humorous tale. I loved, too, the ending, because sometimes our talents are made for other sports.
