Cinders And Sparks #1: Magic At Midnight

Cinders & Sparks is a fresh, funny, and fabulous take on Cinderella for everyone who loves series like Whatever After and Grimmtastic Girls.

Cinders isn’t supposed to know how to do magic. Her dog, Sparks, isn’t supposed to talk. And they’re definitely not supposed to go to the fancy palace ball....

But with a fairy godmother named Brian, do we really think that’s going to stop them?

Bestselling author Lindsey Kelk makes her children’s debut with the first book in a ridiculously entertaining trilogy filled with adventure, talking dogs, and pure comic silliness. Perfect for readers age 8–12.

What happens when a modern-day Cinderella has magic she can’t control?

• An Unlikely Heroine: Cinders would rather be climbing trees than attending a ball, but when her magic awakens, she’ll have to trade mud-stained dresses for an adventure she never expected.
• A Talking Dog Sidekick: Meet Sparks, a very proper dog who suddenly can’t stop talking—mostly about his urgent need for sausages.
• A Not-So-Fairy-Tale Godmother: Forget everything you know about godmothers. This one’s named Brian, she has a terrible sense of timing, and she might be the only one with answers about Cinders’s secret fairy heritage.
• Hilarious Magical Mishaps: From self-washing dishes to an enchanted roast pig that bites the king, Cinders’s magic causes more problems than it solves, leading to a royal disaster and a hasty escape!
