With her feet bare (those glass slippers don't fit) and her secondhand gown splattered with mud (thanks, evil stepsisters), Ella's first day of Princess School is off to a lousy start. If she can only find her fairy godmother before the first class begins, Ella is sure she'll put things right. But her fairy godmother is off at a convention and Ella is on her own, so she'll have to get through the first weeks of Princess School without any bobbity-boo....

A modern twist on the Cinderella tale. Prince Cinder is stuck doing housework while his three brothers go to parties. A fairy godmother in-training turns him by mistake into an ape rather than a he-man. Then police pursue him as he attempts to get to Princess Lovelypenny's disco party. He loses his pants rather than a glass slipper.
