Real life and fairy tales collide in The Stolen Slippers, book two of the funny and thrilling middle-grade Never After series from #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Descendants series Melissa de la Cruz.
Tossed back into the not-so-familiar fairy-tale world of Never After, Filomena Jefferson-Cho and her friends set off on another adventure . . . this time in search of Cinderella’s glass slipper. Or rather, glass slippers.
It turns out the classic story of Cinderella is full of lies―starting with how Cinderella herself is far from the innocent heroine everyone thinks she is. She is manipulative and cunning -- willing to do anything to be the princess of Eastphalia. The real heroines of her story are her “wicked” stepsisters, Hortense and Beatrice, who aren’t actually wicked at all!
With the help of the dashing Jack Stalker, adorable Alastair, and glamorous Gretel, Filomena must track down the slippers, which may be the key to a certain mysterious prophecy . . . And when Filomena and Beatrice get tossed into the Beast’s dungeon, all hope seems to be lost. Will the conniving Cinderella shatter everyone’s hopes for a true un-twisted ending? Or will Filomena and her friends secure the happily-ever-after Cinderella’s stepsisters deserve?
