I purchased this book for my granddaughter. She had seen the movie and wanted to read the book. She enjoyed the book and I would suggest young ladies would enjoy the movie more if they read it first.

What every girl dreams
Taken from the back of the book: By the time Danielle is eight years old, her mother and father have did and she's left in the care of her new stepmother, Baroness Rodmilla of Ghent. 12 years later the baroness and her two daughters have made Danielle their servant, giving her the nickname Cindersoot and ordering her everyday to clean,sweep, and tend the grounds of the Manor House. When Prince Henry of France begins looking for a wife, the baroness intends to make sure her beautiful daughter Marguerite becomes his bride. But one day Danielle and the Prince meet by chance and sparks fly. The baroness will do everything within her power to keep her servant from becoming the Queen of France.
This isn't your average retelling of the story Cinderella, first off there is no magic (well the magic of love) no pumpkins, and no fairy godmother. If you've seen the movie before the book its basically all the same, expect in the book you get to read what the characters are feeling and get to delve in there minds more than in the movie. Danielle has a strong inner strength but not to the point that she doesn't having feelings or in the set of mind of I don't need anyone. She is very human, she gets hurt, she falls in love, she wants respect from her stepmother and step-sisters but can never receive either from them. This story tells how even though you can be beaten down by someone you can over come it and that love can triumph over anything. Danielle proved that women can save themselves and those they love not with magic but with hard work.
