By S. McGowan
Format:Paperback
My daughter and her friends (age 12-13) loved this book - proclaimed it "SO COOL!". "Cinderella Ninja Warrior" manages to hold true to the Cinderella story while twisting every possible detail into a delightful, romantic, adventurous romp. I liked the imaginative adventure scenes best, one Ninja/Wizard/Acrobatic Competition scene in particular. (yes, Ninja/Wizard/Acrobatic - this is the fun kind of twisted !)
The girls chastised me soundly for reading every section straight through instead of making the choices and choosing my adventure, and I definitely recommend making the choices - you'd get eight different versions of the story (although really, if you have a good memory it would only take two passes to get a completely new version each time).
Read and enjoy!

In Maureen McGowan's take on this popular fairy tale, Cinderella is a ninja warrior, training secretly to hone her ninja skills with dreams of escaping from her evil stepmother. Her only friend is her pet cat, Max who is not only her sounding board but also her training partner. When the entire family is invited to attend the royal ball Cinderella finds out about the magic competition and intends to enter but that's only if she can bring down her stepmother's entrapment spells and get to the ball in time.
I love that Cinderella doesn't give up. Her situation looks hopeless but she still trains and hopes one day to escape. Yes she's under the thumb of her stepmother but that's only because the stepmother uses magic to control her. Without magic, Cinderella can kick her butt any day. The stepmother was the most hated character in the story and I commend the author for getting me to actually hate her so much. She's a powerful wizard who uses black magic and wants Cinderella's mother's wand for herself. The two stepsisters also follow their mother's ways in making Cinderella's life difficult.
I don't think I've read a choose your own adventure book in years. There are 8 possible variations of the story depending on your choices and I was very happy with the story I read. It was a very fun and fast paced read that younger teen readers will eat up.

I am 10 years old and I love this book! I have shared it with lots of my freinds and they love it also. This version of Cinderella is a fast paced novel with lots of romance and action. At the end of most of the chapters there are choices that you make that let you practically tell Cinderella what to do. I read it all the way through 3 times, making different choices. This Cinderella is not like the Disney princess -- she is smart, powerful and tough (and doesn't even know that she is pretty). This book is perfect for girls my age. Boys will probably like it too because of all the action (except they may not like the romance?)
