Sadie Jones, the smallest kitchen maid in the palace, is determined that no one should be left out of Prince Charming’s ball in this funny Cinderella retelling from Sally Nicholls.


Everyone knows the story of Cinderella and how she and Prince Charming danced the night away at the ball. But what happened to all the other girls who were invited?

Sadie Jones, kitchen maid at the palace, is furious when everyone else is left standing around with no one to dance with while Prince Charming and Cinderella have a wonderful time.

So when Cinderella disappears and Prince Charming flounces off in a huff, it’s up to Sadie to save the day!

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
