The Stepsisters' Story

Think you know the story of Cinderella? Think again! The Stepsisters’ Story (by Kaye Umansky) is a fabulously funny re-telling of this classic tale, but from the point of view of the sisters who DIDN’T make it to the ball. They plot, scheme and do everything they can to get their hands on that happy ending for themselves! Written specifically for children who are dyslexic and/or reluctant readers. All Barrington Stoke books are put through their unique consultancy programme, where pre-published stories are reviewed, and revisions suggested, by groups of children representing the specific age and reading level for which the publication is intended.The Stepsisters’ Story is written at a high interest level (for ages 8 - 12), but at a lower reading level (age 8), with short chapters, well-spaced text and printed on off-white paper to ease visual stress.
