Returning the tale of Cindarella to its Chinese roots, Donna Jo Napoli tells of Xing Xing?s strength and determination to better herself, get to the festival, and find the prince ? and all on her own terms. Suitable for senior primary and junior secondary. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 99300)
