Collins Big Cat - After the Ball: Band 11+/Lime Plus
Paperback
Cinderella has got her prince, but what happens to the stepsisters after the ball?
Lettice and Hilda are angry that they’ve been labelled as the villains of Cinderella's story, so they decide to be the best villains they can. They open Baddies-for-Hire, an employment agency for the villains of Storyville. People will pay the sisters to send out their workers to do villainous work. But after a taste of their own medicine, the sisters have a change of heart. Will Cinderella accept that her stepsisters can really be good?
Lime Plus/Band 11+ books provide challenging plots and vocabulary as well as opportunities to practise inference, prediction and reading stamina.
Pages 46 and 47 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.
