Until she forges a wary friendship with a fairy charm-seller, and makes a bargain for three nights of almost-living freedom. Freedom that means she can finally be seen. Danced with. Touched. You think you know Ella's story--the ball, the magical shoes, the handsome prince. You're halfway right, and all-the-way wrong.

Anne of a Different Island
by Virginia Kantra
Anne Gallagher has always lived by the book, Anne of Green Gables, that is. Growing up on Mackinac Island, she saw herself as her namesake: the same impulsive charm, the same wild imagination, even the same red hair (dyed, but still). She followed in Anne Shirley's fictional footsteps, chasing dreams of teaching and writing, and falling for her very own storybook hero. But when a string of real-life plot twists pull her back to the island she once couldn't wait to leave, Anne is forced to face a truth no story ever prepared her for. It's time to figure out what she wants and rewrite her story to create her own happy ending. Not the book version. The real one.
