| Cinderskella - a middle-grade fiction |
Cindy is just a normal eleven and three-quarter
year-old. At least until she wakes up one night and finds out she’s dead. Well,
she isn't technically dead—she just doesn't have any hair . . . or a nose . . .
or skin. Yep—all bones, no body. Human by day and skeleton by night, Cindy is
definitely cursed. And because her mother recently died, Cindy has no one to
turn to except a father who’s now scared of her and an evil stepmother who
makes her do the housecleaning with a toothbrush. To make matters worse, the
Spring Fling dance is approaching, and Ethan, the cutest boy in sixth grade,
doesn’t seem to know Cindy exists. Of course, Cindy doesn’t think letting Ethan
find out she’s part skeleton is the best way to introduce herself. While facing such perils as pickled pig’s feet, a wacky fortune teller,
and a few quick trips to the Underworld, Cindy’s determined to break the
curse—even for a single night.
Amie Borst still believes in unicorns, uses glitter whenever possible
and accessorizes in pink. She enjoys eating chocolate while writing and keeps a
well-stocked stash hidden away from her family. A native New Yorker she
currently resides in Northern Virginia with
her husband, three children and a cute dog named Lily. She wishes she had a
hot-pink elevator with carnival lights to travel the world. But for now, her
minivan will have to do.
Bethanie Borst is a spunky 13-year-old who is an avid archer with
Olympic dreams, enjoys the outdoors, loves reading and is quick to make lasting
friendships. When she is not writing, she swings on a star.
