Grades 4-6. This new series for middle-grade girls is so much fun to read. Diana Donato is an eighth grader sent to work in the family dry-cleaning business by her step-mother, whom she has a hard time getting along with. She also has two "evil" little step-sisters. The story revolves around a beautiful dress brought into the cleaners, some "found" tickets to a Broadway show, and a midnight curfew. Sound familiar? Picking out the similarities to the real Cinderella story is great fun, and the story is well-written. There are now five books in the series. You can check out the first two at our library. The second book is called Prep Cool. Level 4.8, Points 6
