The Rough-Faced Girl

In an Algonquin village by the shores of Lake Ontario, many young women have tried to win the affections of the powerful Invisible Being who lives with his sister in a great wigwam near the forest. Then came the Rough-Face girl, scarred from working by the fire. Can she succeed where her beautiful, cruel sisters have failed? ?A strong, distinctive tale with art to match.? ?Kirkus Reviews, pointer review ?The drama of the haunting illustrations?and of Martin?s respectful retelling?produce an affecting work.? ?Publishers Weekly Rafe Martin lives in Rochester, NY. David Shannon lives in southern California.

A beautiful version of the Classic Cinderella tale, The rough-faced girll will be a delight to kids interested in fairy tales.
