Nicolette and her mother were very close until she died of Fey’s Croup.
Nicolette finds a mysterious letter under her door on her sixteenth birthday.
Her mission is to work and fix her mechanical friend and do it in a short time
frame. With the ball and the convention, will she make it in time?
This story
is a fractured fairy tale that mainly follows the plot of the classic
“Cinderella”. Nicolette’s mechanical abilities and her past help to make this story even better overall and allows us to connect with
Nicolette even more. There is a background overview on her life before it goes
into the real story. This book does have a slightly large vocabulary and made
me look a few things up to know what exactly I was reading.
