Description - Princess by Melaina Faranda
Ella sees herself as ugly and overweight, because that's what her shallow step-sisters tell her she is. She spends more and more time in front of the sinister mirror her step-mother gave her, its dark magic showing her a distorted image of herself. Cruel teasing by a young guy triggers Ella into episodes of overeating and bulimia, and she becomes dangerously thin. Can Ella's friends in the Circle find a way to help? Or has Ella become so obsessed with her mirror world that she can no longer distinguish her true self from a false reflection? PRINCESS is a multi- layered retelling of the classic Cinderella tale of transformation, exploring issues of adolescent self- image, the beauty myth, and the power of friendship.
