Description

The book is set at Ever After High, a school for the children of fairy tale characters. When Faybelle casts a spell on the midterm hexams, the students unexpectedly find themselves inside the wrong storybooks. Cupid ends up as Cinderella for the day and, with her friends Hopper Croakington III and Madeline Hatter, investigates her wicked stepsisters who are secretly sneaking out of the Prince's Royal Ball.

Quick Summary

Cupid swaps places with Cinderella for a night of royal fun, but when she spots the stepsisters sneaking away from the ball, she turns detective to uncover their secret scheme. Kids will love the playful twist on a classic fairy tale, the spy mission plot, and Cupid's witty commentary as she navigates palace drama with her friends. If your kid enjoys the humor and heart of the "Whatever After" series or the princess power of "The Princess in Black," they'll fall for this magical mystery. With a 4.6 reading level and quick pace, this 2-point AR book is ideal for third through fifth graders who enjoy funny fairy tale retellings.
