From Booklist

Levine fractures fairy tales in the nicest possible way as she's previously demonstrated in the The Princess Test and The Fairy's Mistake [both in BKL Ap 15 99]. Her latest book in the Princess Tales series wittily conflates "Cinderella" and "The Glass Hill," adding a gender switch for spice. Ellis longs for his older brothers Ralph and Burt to include him, to approve of him, to appreciate and love him. But they simply ignore him and his fool inventions and call him Cinderellis instead, after his flying powder produced a messy result in the chimney. Princess Marigold, whose father is always going off on quests and leaving her alone, wishes she had a real friend besides her cat, Apricot. When the king, grounded from too many quests gone awry, puts Marigold on a glass hill that suitors have to climb, she figures she better have an escape mechanism. Besides, while interviewing potential princes disguised as a dairymaid, she finds few with good kingdom-ruling ideas. Cinderellis, of course, is full of ideas, and after a few missteps and three magic horses, Ellis and Marigold live happily ever after in a way that includes Ellis' inventions and Marigold's sweet temper. Endearing to the max. GraceAnne A. DeCandido


Product Description

Ralph said, "Rain tomorrow."
Burt said, "Barley needs it. You're covered with cinders, Ellis."
Ralph thought that was funny. "That's funny." He laughed. "That's what we should call him-- Cinderellis."
Burt guffawed.

In this unusual spin on an old favorite, Cinderlla is a boy! He's Cinderellis, and he has two unfriendly brothers and no fairy godmother to help him out. Luckily, he does have magical powders, and he intends to use them to win the hand of his Princess Charming-- that is, Marigold. The only problem is-- Marigold thinks Cinderellis is a monster!

Gail Carson Levine is the author of Ella Enchanted, a spirited retelling of the "real" Cinderella fairy tale and a 1998 Newberry Honor Book. In this fourth of her Princess Tales, Levine brings new life and new fun into a little-known tale and proves that determination, imagination, and kindness can carry the day.

1.0étoiles sur 5 The first honest review, Mars 8 2004
Par Un client
Well,there is humor in it,overall. Gail Carson Levine does put wit into her stories, but something fell apart in this book. Chapter eight is a perfect example of where an entertaining story went bad. At first, we look through Marigold's point of view, then we look through Cinderellis's. After that, the chapter is just confusing. It goes back and forth between both of their minds that I don't know whose I am in. I think Miss Levine could have done a better job in writing this story. I think the humor was the only thing good about it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Sweet and sure to be popular, Aoû 4 2003
Part of Gail Carson Levine's new "Princess Tales" series, this title in the series is just as much about the prince. Cinderellis, boy inventor, is lonely because his brothers have bonded and exclude and discredit him at every turn, while Princess Marigold confides to her cat how lonely she is, because her father is always off on quests. Their stories are told in alternating chapters as the years pass. On the year the king is determined to quest for a son-in-law, he is cursed by an imp and the suitors must come to the palace. Cinderellis, who has captured 3 magnificent horses that conveniently come with a suit of armor, enters the contest to climb a glass hill to get to get the Princess.
The story is charming, and Levine's unique blend of humor (in one scene, the king quests for a goose that lays golden eggs, but returns with a turkey that lays tin ones) and practicality (Cinderellis' horse treats contain horse chestnuts, among other things) make a powerful invention.
The volume is attractively packaged in a slim petite butter yellow library bound book, with delicate scrollwork decorating the cover. The cover picture looks too "Disney" for my taste, and the prince inside is a Leonardo DiCaprio look alike.
Readers familiar with fairy tales will get the most out of Levine's twisting of common fairy tale elements. Although not as stellar as her awarding-winning Ella Enchanted, this is a fun book that will find an audience in fans of fractured fairy tales.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A more interesting hero, Juil 13 2003
Par Jim Carson "http://www.jimcarson.com" (Bellevue, WA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cinderellis and the Glass Hill (Hardcover)
Cinderellis and the Glass Hill was much better than "The Princess Test" (another Gail Carson Levine novel) because the main characters have some dimension to them.

Ellis is a very likeable character but an outcast in his family. He seems desperate for the attention of his shallow, almost comically dumb brothers. When one of the fields is totally decimated by a mysterious event and he's the only one willing to make an effort to understand in hopes of winning their adolation. The build up of Ellis confronting the mysterious event is done pretty well, and makes this an enjoyable story.

The subplots are pretty funny. King Humphrey, playing the classic male, wants to find The Thing that will make his daughter Marigold happy. He is constantly going on quests whose results are always less than what he hoped. For example, while hunting for the Goose that Lays Golden Eggs, he returns with the Turkey that Lays Tin Eggs.

Also recommended: Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep, For Biddle's Sake.
