What if Cinderella left behind not a slipper, but a socket wrench? In this retro-modern retelling set in space, Cinderella is a rocket mechanic who's left behind when her family goes to the Royal Space Parade. With some tools and a sparkly spacesuit from her fairy godrobot, however, Cinderella makes her own way to the parade, where she wins not the prince's hand, but a job as his chief mechanic. Blending science fiction and fairy tales, Interstellar Cinderella will entertain young readers of all kinds. Looking for more stereotype-busting princess stories? Try Shannon Hale's The Princess in Black or Kate Beaton's The Princess and the Pony. Picture books newsletter July 2015
