<p><b>Real life and fairy tales collide in <i>Never After: The Stolen Slippers</i>, book two of the funny and thrilling middle grade Chronicles of Never After series from the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Descendants series Melissa de la Cruz.</b> <p/>Tossed back into the not-so-familiar fairy-tale world of Never After, Filomena Jefferson-Cho and her friends set off on another adventure . . . this time in search of Cinderella's glass slipper. Or rather, glass <i>slippers</i>. <p/>It turns out the classic story of Cinderella is full of lies--starting with how Cinderella herself is far from the innocent heroine everyone <i>thinks </i>she is. She is manipulative and cunning--willing to do anything to be the princess of Eastphalia. The real heroines of her story are her "wicked" stepsisters, Hortense and Beatrice, who aren't actually wicked at all! <p/>With the help of the dashing Jack Stalker, adorable Alastair, and glamorous Gretel, Filomena must track down the slippers, which may be the key to a certain mysterious prophecy . . . And when Filomena and Beatrice get tossed into the Beast's dungeon, all hope seems to be lost. Will the conniving Cinderella shatter everyone's hopes for a true un-twisted ending? Or will Filomena and her friends secure the happily ever after Cinderella's stepsisters deserve?</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Melissa de la Cruz<br><b>Publisher:</b> Square Fish<br><b>Published:</b> 12/06/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Pa
