Rasheed, Leila Cinders & Sapphires, 400 p. Disney, 2013. $18. Language: G (1 swear, 0 ‘f’); Mature Content: PG; Violence: G.
Ada, a prim and proper English girl, is impossibly in love with a young man from India. Add in a meddling stepmother, a conniving stepsister and a maid with sinister designs.
Everyone has a plot, a scheme, a secret, a liaison. It is quite overhelming at times. Treat this like a PG version of an adult romance novel. There is one homosexual theme, but it is extremely PG – all innuendo, no detail. If a student isn’t reading carefully, they might not even pick up on it.
HS – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library Teacher.
