SUMMARY

from goodreads

What’s a girl to do when the glass slipper fits, but she doesn’t want to wear it anymore?

When the Prom Queen becomes your fairy godmother…

Sixteen year old outsider, Jess Parker, gets the chance of a lifetime:  an invitation to join a secret society of popular girls dedicated to defeating the mean girls of the world.  The Cinderella Society guides all new recruits through its top secret ultimate life makeover.  It’s all part of preparing them to face down the Wickeds and win.  Determined not to let the Cindys down, Jess dives in with a passion.  Finally, a chance to belong and show the world what she’s made of.

…be careful what you wish for.

Jess’s transformation wins her the heart of her dream crush and a shot at uber-popularity.  Until the Wickeds-led by Jess’s arch enemy- begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys, and Jess discovers the real force behind her exclusive society.  It’s a high stakes battle of good vs. evil, and the Cindys in power need Jess on special assignment.  When the mission threatens to destroy her dream life come true, Jess is forced to choose between living a fairy tale and honoring the Sisterhood…and herself.

REVIEW

Every so often I read a book that gets into my heart.  This is one of those books.  I want to be a Cindy!  The Cindys are strong girls with high self-esteem.  They go out of their way to be selfless and be kind to others. 

At the beginning of the story, Jess is a girl with no confidence and low self-esteem.  She is miserable.  Once she is brave enough to join the Cindys, all of that changes.  Jess becomes confident and her self-esteem soars.  In the end, she has even become a leader, something that never would have happened before.

This story covers a lot of teen issues like girl friends, bullies, fitting in, and boys .  For the most part though, I think it tells the story of one girl’s journey to find her voice and her true self. 

Yes, I want to be a Cindy!
