I am quickly learning that it isn't easy finding a sweet, clean, book for younger readers. This, however, is a book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any young girl. It follows the new Disney movie very well, and actually improved upon the movie's depth for me after I read it. It has 8 pages, in the center of the book, of fully colored photos from the movie.

For many people who know me it's not very new information that I loved the Cinderella live action movie more than any other movie in the whole wide world (which is not just because Richard Madden is a perfect and handsome human being). When a friend of mine told me that there was actually a novel based on this exact movie, I had to go to amazon to find it.

I found a very cheap, second hand copy and after returning home from a short holiday at my parents' I found it, looking absolutely new and unused, in my mailbox. I was really excited to start reading it and my excitement only grew when I discovered that Elizabeth Rudnick, who made me feel sorry for Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, wrote it.

And it turned out to be everything I hoped and wanted it to be. The Cinderella live action movie had, in my opinion, already done a great job when it came to creating layered characters for this fairytale that's not known for its depth. The book adds even more layers to all of them which will also give watching this movie a whole new dimension.

The book is written from multiple point of views, switching whenever needed. Therefore we get to see the motivation of not just Ella and Kit, but also Mrs. Tremaine, the Grand Duke and King Frederick. The expressions and acting choices make even more sense now they're accompanied by a thought process and reasons. And I'm sure I will see more than a few scenes in a different light now.

But, the book does more than that. It also adds scenes, small little moments, snippets of conversations. Scenes that made me smile, scenes that made this story even more magical, even more special, and even more beautiful. It were those small moments, where we got to see and hear things the movie didn't show us, or cut out (probably), that I had to smile most. It was as if finally, after all those time, I discovered a few deleted scenes I didn't know I needed.

I'm fairly certain that I will re-read this book quite often and I wished I had known and heard about it sooner! (Ow, and all other books from Elizabeth Rudnick are now added to my to be read list!)

When your daughter finishes reading a book and brings it to you and says "Mom, you should read this", you read the book. A nice little story. Love the message of "be kind and have courage", but I think we'll discuss in more detail the difference between being kind and letting others abuse you (though it had to happen to keep the Cinderella storyline intact...at least they tried to frame it as her refusing to give up the house her parents loved).

Plenty of people are excited about the new live action movie version of Disney's Cinderella, and so I figured I might as well read the novelisation and see what they'd done with the (admittedly pretty anaemic) romance this time round. The 1950 animated version is entertaining enough, but there's a lot more time devoted to singing and mice than there is to character development or any of the actually interesting parts of the Cinderella story.

There are a lot of people who start worrying every time

There are a lot of people who start worrying every time a new fairy tale movie comes out. They don't want the story "ruined" by a "feminist agenda". Now, I find that really offensive and misogynistic, but I also understand people wanting to see the original story without too many changes.

And this is exactly what we get here.

The movie trailers promised a longer and more meaningful connection between Ella and her prince (Kit in this book). However, those few seconds in the trailer where they meet on horseback in the forest? That's all there is!

The character of the prince IS more fleshed out, but he is off in the palace doing his own thing while Cinderella is busy 'having courage and being kind' while being literature's greatest doormat.

Something about this book I thought was hilarious was that the author had a character using bloody as a swear word. Um… this is a children's book!

And because it is a children's book, I won't even get started on all the incorrect forms of address for royalty. Surely even a Disney author has access to Wikipedia!

If you're expecting an alpha hero in the shape of a prince, you'll be disappointed. He's a shy sort of fellow whose plan for ruling the kingdom is not for international alliances (he doesn't want any!), but to rule with kindness, courage and love. Ho-kay then. That sounds smart!

I do really like softer, kinder, less assertive heroines, as backwards as that may sound. I was a very shy thing at Cinderella's age. However, there's kind and then there's THIS! It was a little painful to see what a weak and useless creature Cinderella was – even more so than in the animated version.

This is exactly what you'd expect: a fairy tale movie put on the page. Expect nothing more.

This story was petty good. there was a little more I wish they had included like occupations the mother and daughter did together, a little more on the mother's funeral, chores that Cinderella must do around the house, and perhaps what happened to the Tremaine's after the absence of Cinderella and the marring of her and the prince.

A great companion to Disney's live action Cinderella movie, this easy to read chapter book is based on the screen play by Chris Weitz. It's a wonderful edition to have. I love it when movie ties make you feel like you're reading the movie brought to life in book form. Also featured in the book, are images from the movie. We really enjoyed this one, and would definitely recommend picking it up. This book is great for readers in grades 2nd-4th.

I finished this book in one sitting. It's like rediscovering my childhood all over again. I watched the movie back in 2015 and I still love it now. I personally think that both Richard Madden and Lily James are the perfect for the role of Kit and Ella. This book of the film is simple and yet, still good at the same time. While reading, I remember the scenes in the movie. I think the author did well in writing this in a fun and simple way. I finished this book in one sitting.

The main themes of this story include perseverance, courage, kindness, and finding the good in all living creatures. This book exhibits a large amount of imagery, which makes the book even more magical, as well as a joyous and hopeful tone. This book would be a great book for beginning readers because it has a simplistic vocabulary and east to follow plot. It would also be a good read-aloud book for teachers to read in their classes. As well as a good book to keep in your classroom library. ...more

I read this after watching the movie and highly recommend the book first. The main messages that I found were believing in yourself and courage. These are important messages for students to learn while they are growing up in a harsh and critical world. This is a great book for young girls in middle school or going into high school.

Disney live action Cinderella is a lovely and powerful story about kindness and courage.
Definitely worth to read and as well worth to watch the movie.

I like this story, I read this story by watching movies. the story is about a kind and wishful servant girl who got rid of the desolate family life and lived a life of royal family and true love.

It is surprise thing for me to say that I enjoyed the book more than the movie. I felt the book put layers to the story that the movie didn't do so maybe that's why.

Adapted from the 2015 live action Disney movie, Cinderella tells the tale of a girl named Ella. After her mother's death Ella's father remarried, giving her a step-mother and two step-sisters. Not long after, Ella's father also passes away leaving her a servant in her own home to serve her wicked step-mother and spoilt step-sisters. By remembering to have courage and be kind, Ella finds magic, true love and her happily ever after.

I loved Elizabeth Rudnick's Cinderella. As a big fan of the film from which it is adapted, I enjoyed the added depth the book gave. We are privy to the thoughts of the characters rather than just their actions and dialogue.

In this novelisation, the reader is left with no doubt just how courageous Ella is in the face of unkindness because we can see how many times she is nearly broken. This adds more tragedy to the bulk of the story and makes the happy ending so much more beautiful.

The fairy godmother's comments throughout Cinderella added even more depth, insight and humour to the story.

I did feel that there were a couple of lovely moments from the film left out of the Cinderella novelisation and that was a little bit disappointing. Though not enough to spoil the overall enjoyment of the novel.

While aimed at junior readers, Cinderella is a must read for any fan of the film on which it is based or fairy tales in general. Best read as an accompaniment to the film rather than a standalone novel.

Cinderella is a Disney film and this book was the book of the film. Before we read the book the title 'Cinderella' suggests that there is something to do with Cinder and stuff like smoke and whatever Cinder mean.. And Ella means it is the name of a girl so it must mean something happens to the girl.The book was written in third person. It was written like 'she', 'he', 'Cinderella' and stuff like that. This book is basically a fairy tale.

My favourite Character was Cinderella because she seemed so

My favourite Character was Cinderella because she seemed so nice and so real. The story did keep me guessing. It makes you like wonder what is going to happen next. My favourite part was the start of the book where Cinderella was a little girl and where her mother and father was described. The story did grip me and kept me turning the page. I started this book yesterday morning and already finished it today.

I wish the book had stuff about the wedding of the Prince and Cinderella. I did not really like Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters because they seemed really horrible and was like boring.

I would recommend this book to a young reader because after all it is a fairy tale. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because it was a goodread.

Not a bad retelling of the story, and quite good compared with other children's books that attempt to novelize films. Reading it to my three daughters, I felt much better about this Cinderella than the original Disney animated version – she can stand up for herself, and the attraction between her and the prince has room to be about more than simply appearance. In the end, it's hard to fully rescue a story whose main element is staying in the middle of an abusive relationship.

In the end, it's hard to fully rescue a story whose main element is staying in the middle of an abusive relationship. Another, more minor drawback is the attempt to inject the fairy godmother into the narration throughout the book. Distracting and unnecessary.

Anyway, if you've got kids who love to read and love princesses, you can do much worse than a story whose overriding message is "be kind and courageous, no matter how unfair life treats you."

Talia Hibbert is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. A lifelong bookworm, she's known for haunting the local library,...

"Six years passed, and true to her word, Ella stayed kind and courageous. She continued to make sure the littlest birds got just as much food as the big birds at the fountain. She made sure to say good morning and good evening to the cooks and maids of the house. When she had to make trips to the market, she smiled at everyone she passed. Always she felt her mother's presence, reminding her of the promise she had made all those years earlier. One morning, Ella read aloud from a book in the drawing room. Her father sat in a chair opposite her, nibbling on a piece of toast slathered in honey. Looking up, Ella smiled. She had harvested that honey especially for her father. It was his favorite treat, and the little things meant so much these days. The smile faltered a bit as she noticed the dust that had accumulated on the mantel and the curtains, which were worn thin. Since her mother's death, the house had lost some of its sparkle. Now," — 0 likes
