Oh ho ho, YES. A topsy-turvy Cinderella story in which Elly is treated with love and kindness by her stepmother and -sisters, but is bored living a life of "frou-frou and fondue". She just wants to play ball! So her fairy godfather zaps her into a dusty baseball uniform and gives her until noon to knock 'em dead.

(Also, the 'prince' is the team captain and his name is Vince. So cute!)

Really love this twist on a classic tale. Perfect for readers now - what does Elly want? Just to play with kids and play baseball!
