Ratings and reviews

I loved reading this excellent and different version of Cinderella. There are plenty of twists and turns as the story develops between Ella and Florian. A great addition to a fantastic series. This is my honest opinion.

This was a fun Retelling Of Cinderella and a great addition to the Grimm Academy Series. Each story can be enjoyed on it's own but are more enjoyable when you read more of the series since some of the characters show up in multiple books.

Pumpkins and proms is another successful retelling of a very traditional fairytale. Laura Greenwood weaves a modern tale using classic characters. In this book, Ella is whom some of us will know to be Cinderella. Her step-mother is still an evil and a mean human being who does not want good things for her. The evil step-mom easily manipulates her father, but Ella loves him dearly. He loves her too and perhaps agrees with his wife to send Ella to Grim Academy to get some space between them. Maybe he is trying to protect her. Time will tell. Because Ella loves her Dad, she goes to Grim Academy as he requests. She meets a group of young ladies who, like her, are fairytale characters. These female characters are strong and lovable. They spend their time at Grim Academy to get away from fulfilling the prophecies over their lives. That is a unique twist to these stories. Drama is prevalent, as is a little craziness and humor. Romance is, of course, part of the storyline too. Pumpkins and Prom is a page-turner and an easy read young adult novel.
