Read Between The Lines With Jason
The Egyptian Cinderella
The Egyptian Cinderella by Shirley Climo is the original Cinderella story. It's about a girl named Rhodopis and her magical story. Rhodopis is a household peasant who lives with 3 other mean girls. Rhodopis is the only different one because she has blonde hair, green eyes and very rosy cheeks. One day, while Rhodopis is out alone a hawk comes and takes Rhodopis' slipper and gives it to the pharaoh. Next, the pharaoh says he'll marry whoever fits the slipper. My connection to the story is like the mean girls that live with Rhodopis are like my brothers, and I'm her (boy version). Even though they're not that mean. I give this book 3.5 stars (out of 5)! And you will love this story if you like any Disney tales or Egyptian stories!

Abigail's Creative Book Review
The Egyptian Cinderella is by Shirley Climo, its about a girl named Rhodopis who is different from all the other girls living in there masters house. Rhodopis is a slave and when she is done with her chores she dances, so her master gave her gold slippers, so know she is even more different. But one day a hawk (Hours) took her slipper far far away. This story is phenomenal, mostly of the ending but I'm not going to give it away, the story is also phenomenal because of the amazing pictures by Ruth Heller they tie the whole story together. I recommend this story for boys and girls of all ages because most boys and girls have seen the movie Cinderella and I think it would be good for them to read the original version.
