The book has great illustrations and my 11 year old daughter loves it! It had her laughing and giggling all the way through. She reads every night and sets her timer book mark for 15 minutes. Usually once the 15 minutes is up, she puts the book down and wants to go back to her ipad. With this book, she just kept on reading well after the timer had gone off and up until she completely finished the book. We both had to admit, that Holdren really did have some good points about some plot holes in the original story, which is how he breaks the story in the first place, by questioning these plot holes.
We love this book, and it's definitely something to read again, and again.
I've always been a huge fan of fairytale retellings and the title of this series, My Rotten Stepbrother Ruined... has such a catching ring it really piqued my interest. Like Maddie, Cinderella is one of my favorite fairytales, and I must say I really enjoyed Mahoney's spin on Cinderella. Cinderella continues to be as kind and patient as I remember, with a sense of grace and poise, but now Maddie's transformed into one of Cinderella's wicked stepsisters, Holden's a foot soldier and Prince Andrew has prosopagnosia (aka difficulty recognizing faces), which amused me to no end. What a mixup they've created. Equipped with only Holden's tablet they take on their new roles as characters from the story and try to get the prince and Cinderella back together again so they can have their happily ever after. But when Cinderella is locked in the dungeon, getting these two together becomes a bit more difficult. I liked that Holden and Maddie act and think like eleven-year-olds, they bicker and disagree as stepsiblings might, but they're also so darn funny. While Holden points out the flaws in the original fairytale, he also realizes that he needs to work with Maddie to fix things or be stuck as a foot soldier. We all knew that Cinderella's stepmother was wicked, but now even she wants to marry the prince. My favorite change though is when the stepsister due to marry Prince Andrew isn't happy about marrying him after all, she'd rather be designing wedding dresses than wearing them. Such an amusing story, and makes for a wonderful comparative/contrast teaching tool for discussing plot and the messaging in the original fairytales.
