Gardner, Sally (2005) , 200+ pages
Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade)
Category: Fantasy, Historical, Mystery


Life is full of enchantment in Coriander Hobie's world, and nothing bad can ever touch her. But when someone sends her a pair of silver shoes for her birthday, Coriander can't understand why her mother becomes afraid and hides the shoes. All Coriander knows is that she must wear them! And when she finally gets her chance, terrible things begin to happen. Now Coriander must rescue a prince, find her father, stop a pair of murderers, and defeat an evil queen! Join Coriander in a time of dangerous wonders, a place where the king has been beheaded, where witches hide almost anywhere, and where another magical world might be less than a dream away.

At first I thought this book would be a retelling of Cinderella. When I found out it wasn't, I didn't think I would like it. But, I did. That means it must be a good book.
