In this story, Ella's mother passes away and is left with her loving father. While Ella remains sad, her father finds a new wife who has two daughters. All three of the women are evil to Ella, make her do their housework, and they even gave her the nickname Cinderella because her face always gets smudged with cinders when she cleans the fireplace. Later, the prince of the town throws a ball to find a wife. After begging and pleading, the evil step-mother still told Ella that she couldn't go.
After reading this story, I would ask my students to create an alternate ending to this traditional Cinderella story using the same graphic novel format.
