One of the sweetest books I've ever read!I don't even know where to start... this little book was so GOOD. So I'm gonna break it down and have some fun- because this book was so fun OK ahhh.
-- Story: I have never read a fairy tale retelling before (that I can recall). Also, I never even got into the Cinderella fairy tale. And I finally know why - little kid me was waiting for THIS BOOK to finally fulfill the story of Cinderella! The story was vibrant, hilarious (OK, I was laughing on page one because... I feel you Burndee. I feel you.), and deliciously sweet
-- Writing: The writing style was vivid and inviting, and really told the story well! I loved the pictures the words painted... and the magic scenes, too, were nicely done!
-- Characters: AMAZING. That is all. But seriously: the characters were bouncing off the page from page one. It was so incredible - it was like they were all real! The lessons the characters all learned were all so good - and relatable. But more ramblings on these dears later!
Things I Loved:
-- First, the dear Allison Tebo sent me an autographed copy so eep it's so pretty. Oh gosh. Thank you again, Ms. Tebo!
-- BURNDEE. Like... DUH. He was cracking me up on every other page because geez... he was just great.
-- Ella was too good... I liked her and the way she was with Burndee, it was so funny and cute.
-- The food. But, seriously, am I the only one who would kidnap the Declaration of Independence just to taste on of Burndee's cakes? Because they sound to die for.
-- The magic was so well done and like... if this book was a movie, I'd have it on repeat for my nieces... which is HIGH PRAISE because I hate Disney reruns when the kids get attached... But this book was SO GOOD and I honestly plan on reading it aloud one day.
Overall, a stunning piece of cake of a book! God bless you, Ms. Tebo, because I CANNOT wait for the next books in this series!

The Reluctant Godfather A retelling of Cinderella edition by Allison Tebo Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Oh my crumpets...this story was fantastic. <3
Just from reading all my buddies' reviews on Goodreads, I knew I was going to enjoy this. Sarcasm? Cake? Grumpy godfathers? COUNT ME IN.
Fortunately, it was just as good--if not better--than I thought it would be. The characters were absolutely phenomenal, the dialogue hilarious, and the writing top-notch. I laughed out loud...more than my family would have liked. *cough* And I melted into a puddle of happiness during the ending scenes. <3
I loved how Allison retold the story of Cinderella in a way I've NEVER heard it told. Yet I enjoyed the fact that it still rang true to the original story, feeling new and familiar at the same time.
Loved this story so much! I honestly just want a collection of Burndee short stories now. *stares pointedly at Alli* XD
This is a short, cute Cinderella retelling from the POV of the (rather reluctant) godfather of both the prince and Ella. The ending has a nice twist to it, though it was a twist I saw coming early in the book. I loved Burndee's character, though Ella's character drove me nuts. I didn't like her at all in the beginning of the book, though I warmed to her as the book progressed. She still wasn't my favorite character by the end of the book, but I at least thought her romance was cute.
This is a very clean book, and probably would be really enjoyable to younger readers as well as older readers who need a quick, enjoyable read for an hour or two in an afternoon.
Did the world really need another snarky fairy tale reinterpretation? If you'd asked me yesterday, I would have said no.
... But then I read this one.
... So, yeah. I would have been wrong yesterday.
The Reluctant Godfather is an easy, breezy read that made me smile just about every single page. Furthermore, I could not have been more gratified to (FINALLY) find a Cinderella story that addresses the issue of the glass slipper not un-magicking like the coach/pumpkin, mice/horses, etc.,
Recommended to anyone who loves creative takes on classic tales, and/or the word "reconnoiter". And, really, who doesn't?
What a fun and unique retelling of Cinderella this is! I absolutely love the idea of having the story be told from the Godfather’s point of view. Such a creative idea! This isn’t a normal retelling of Cinderella and thats what made it special from the other retellings out there.
Burndee was by far my favorite character in this book. He had such a fun personality and I loved him! He made a great Godfather and I’d definitely wouldn’t mind another book about him. ;)
And I just have to mention the ending ( which I didn’t see coming at all ) I absolutely loved it! Once again, it’s different from the other Cinderella retellings and I loved that.
This is a such sweet retelling of Cinderella and I’d definitely recommend it!
I got this book on a free day, and I was so excited! I’d really been looking forward to reading it. A retelling of Cinderella from the perspective of the Fairy Godfather? Sign me up!
This is a fantastic story. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. It was hilarious, causing me to laugh aloud several times, and the characters were amazing. Burndee was especially awesome with Ella running a close second. Colin … I am a little irritated with him. Mostly because I think all Colins should be amazing. *shrugs* It’s a weird quirk …
I can’t tell you all the amazing twists and turns of the plot without giving away spoilers, so I’ll just say that this retelling leaves no cliché unaddressed. It’s truly a work of genius. And it’s really funny. What’s not to love?
I’m not going to rant on about the amazingness of this book forever, but you must read it! Really. Get yourself a copy.
In closing, I just want to say Allison. Sequel. Now.
