About This Book

The glass slipper shatters on the palace floor as Cinderella races down the grand staircase—will the prince catch her before she vanishes? Meanwhile, deep under the sea, Ariel trades her voice for legs, stepping into a world she barely knows. Just as Belle faces the Beast's mysterious roar, a shadow moves in the castle—what will happen next?
