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?

Pages 46 and 47 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.
Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.

Persons
The authors, Jan and Sara, have written more than 200 stories - and love writing for Collins Big Cat. They wanted to write After the Ball because they wondered what happened to Cinderella's step-sisters and other fairy-tale villains when their stories were over. They also wanted to challenge the idea of 'once a villain, always a villain'. People can change.
