Meyer, Marissa. CINDERNew York : Feiwel and Friends, 2012IL YAISBN 0312641893Cinder is a gifted mechanic. Have a repair that needs done? Cinder is your girl. Well, Cinder is actually a cyborg. In New Beijing post-World War IV, Earth is a very different place. Cyborgs are treated poorly. And Cinder is no different. She works all day in her booth in town but all her wages go to her step-mother. No one else in the family works but they sure know how to spend her money. Her step-mother has no use for Cinder other than her paycheck. One of her step-sisters is good to her and that makes it tolerable. While Cinder is not allowed to go to the Prince's ball until her chores are finished, she dreams of the handsome Prince. Little does her step-mother know but Cinder has met him. But when the plague stikes Cinder's step-sister, she is sold to the doctor who is researching a vaccine. Cinder knows that none of the cyborgs who have been experimented on have survived.
