Today, I’m participating in Waiting on Wednesday, a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. This event highlights the upcoming releases that we are eagerly awaiting!
Today, I am waiting for…
Seeing Cinderella by Jenny Lundquist (March 20 by Aladdin Mix)
Check out this Goodreads summary:
Calliope Meadow Anderson wishes her life could be more of a fairy tale””just like the stories she writes. Her best friend, Ellen, is acting weird, her parent’s marriage is falling apart, and to top things off, she found out she needs hideously large and geeky glasses.
But Callie soon learns they aren’t just any glasses””they are magical and let her read people’s thoughts. For the first time ever she’s answering all the questions right in math class, and gets a glimpse of what goes through people’s minds all day, including what Ellen””and her longtime crush””really think of her.
As if dealing with these crazy glasses weren’t enough, Callie tries out for the lead in her school’s production of Cinderella and actually gets the part. Instead, Callie chooses to let Ellen have the lead and be Ellen’s understudy””just like she has done for their entire friendship.
Add in a new girl who has something to hide, a secret admirer, a best friend stealer who isn’t what she seems, and Callie’s year just went from ordinary to extraordinary.
I don’t read TOO many middle grade novels, but this one is seriously calling out to me! I absolutely love the premise of the book, and Callie seems like she’s going to be an adorable main character. Definitely can’t wait to read this book.
What are you anxiously waiting for this Wednesday?
Love this choice, I’ll have to add it to my libraries if it turns out to be good! Please check out my Waiting on Wednesday pick. I’m a new follower.
You had me at Cinderella, haha! Sounds like a cute book! Thanks for sharing 🙂
