Cinder (Lunar Chronicles 1), by Marissa Meyer, 387 pages
Cinder is a cyborg- part human, part machine- who works as a mechanic for her hateful stepmother. The prince's annual ball is coming up, and while her vain mother and stepsister plan to attend, Cinder knows she won't be able to go. See where this is going? Well, the story soon veers from the classic Cinderella, with a vicious plague outbreak, a long-thought-dead Moon princess, and an evil queen set to take over Earth with mind-reading powers. I enjoyed this, and I think teens or those who enjoy fairy-tale retellings would also like this first in what is bound to be a series.
