“Such a fun story with excellent illustrations … with enough familiarity to feel known but with enough difference to make it quirky and original” Malorie Blackman

A yellow moon hangs in a satin sky the night Cinderella, barefoot and in hand-me-downs, slips at the top of the stairs … and dies. But not for long. The Shadow of Death arrives to breathe life back into her bones and, for three nights only, Cinderella goes forth as ZOMBIERELLA. With her skin as cold as ice and her faithful horse Lumpkin back by her side, can she seek revenge on her three cruel, fake sisters, once and for all?

Crawl out of the grave and step into your mushroom carriage for this haunting and humorous adventure of the undead girl searching for her happily ever after.

I liked where Death changed Cinderella into Zombierella - the magic was interesting

Maybe I will recommend it to my friends and my favourite part is when we saw the page where it said vampire and a picture of the prince

If you are looking for a little rags to riches fairy tale close this book immediately!!! This gory story has bugs and bogeys, slimy surprises and more than a spot of revenge. And, yes.... I'm afraid dear sweet reader, that is Death. Dum dum dum!

I really like this book. It’s sometimes sad but there’s lots and lots of monsters in it.

I saw this book in the library and realised that we read it at school before. I enjoyed the book and my favourite character is Lumpkin because I love horses and I thought that he had a great personality. I would recommend it to my friend because she loves horses too.
