"Cinderella" turned out to be a good, run-of-the-mill teen romance. It is a cute, updated version of the Cinderella story, with the heroine being named Ashley. Her good friends called her "Ashes" and occasionally someone even referred to her as "Ashbucket." Just a typical '90s girl named Ashley! Her two step-sisters were twins, only a couple years younger than she, although they acted like MUCH younger bratty little kids. The stepmother wasn't so wicked as she was immature and a little selfish. She was also jealous of Ashley, and partial to her own daughters, which meant Ashley had rather a hord time of it. The fairy godmother was Phyllis' grandmother, come to pay a visit. She immediately took to Ashley, and with her good, common sense, she started making things easier for the family almost immediately. She decides to stay in town and help Phyllis, "Who," she declares to Ashley, "needs my help badly!" In the end, in a slight plot twist, she refers to Ashley as her "Fairy godkid." The book turns out with everyone getting what they deserve, but with
a promise of "happy-ever-after" to come for all of them. ( )

Summary: It's the turn of the millenium going from 1999 to 2000. A huge dance is coming uo and everone is going to be there....everyone but me.
