I read this book twice in my life, once as a fourth grader and once 10 years later. It holds up as a fun, light novel that I believe all ages can enjoy. Other than some body shaming (which seems common to many retellings of Cinderella) it holds up surprisingly well in the modern age.
Graphic: Bullying, Emotional abuse, and Abandonment
Moderate: Body shaming, Death of parent, Fatphobia, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Animal death
