Cinder
This book is a great young adult read. It takes the normal Cinderella story and gives it a couple of twists. There is still the horrible stepmother and one dreadful stepsister. The other stepsister is kind and treats Cinder as well as she can. Cinder is a brilliant mechanic and also a cyborg (meaning part of her is machine). Some time in her life she was badly injured and the only way to save her was to give her mechanical parts. She does not recall anything concerning the injuries or the recovery. Because she is such a brilliant mechanic many visit her booth in the marketplace. The prince himself has a special request for her. Their friendship grows as she works on his android and Prince Kai asks her to the ball. You know, the ball where he picks his bride. Also in the story is a plague, evil scientists, and a powerful woman from another realm who is coming to the ball with plans to become the princess and take over his kingdom. Super fun! Enjoy!
You will also enjoy Scarlet which is the story of little red riding hood meets a wolf with the authors wonderful twists and turns. This story then collides with Cinder. Don't read too fast since the third one doesn't come out until February 2014.
