Ash Boy: A Cinderfella Story by Mark Beech, Lucy Coats

Really enjoyed it. Cleverly written with the gender swap of the traditional Cinderella tale. Heavily features libraries (yay!). I liked the tone of the book and the diversity.

Gotta love this gender swapping retelling of the original story. It’s full of humour and wackiness. Still, there’s substance in this short easy to read novel. How could there not be in a story about a young boy who loves libraries and wants to be a librarian? Mark Beech’s illustrations have a Quentin Blake feel that adds to the appeal.
