The Cinderella Theorem
(The Lily Sparrow Chronicles #1)
by Kristee Ravan
YA Urban Fantasy
Paperback, 367 pages
March 17th 2014

Fairy tales are naturally non-mathematical. That is a fact, and fifteen-year-old Lily Sparrow loves factual, mathematical logic. So when her mother confesses that Lily’s deceased father is (a) not dead, (b) coming to dinner, and (c) the ruler of a fairy tale kingdom accessible through the upstairs bathtub, Lily clings to her math to help her make sense of this new double life (1 life in the real world + 1 secret life in the fairy tale world = a double life).
Even though it’s not mathematical, Lily finds herself being pulled into a mystery involving an unhappy Cinderella, a greasy sycophant called Levi, and a slew of vanishing fairy tale characters. Racing against the clock, with a sound mathematical plan, Lily attempts to save her fairy tale friends while proving that normality = happiness.

"From The Fireland Flame"
by Kristee Ravan
From the Fireland
Flame, the daily newspaper of EG Smythe’s Salty Fire Land:
Tybalt’s Tales, Gossip from all the Genres
August 19th
has finally arrived! The day we’ve all
been waiting for, Fireland! Princess
Lily turns 15 today and finds out that she’s really a princess. How will our secret Protector respond? Will
she be thrilled? That is anybody’s guess since her royal parents, King Matt and
Queen Ginnie have been pretty hush-hush about the princess’s love of fairy
tales. This columnist has heard many
patrons of a certain eatery (Once Upon a
Tine, located in the beautiful northeast corner of the First Ring)
hopefully wish that their own tale will be Princess Lily’s favorite.
In
the meantime, don’t forget to have your presents ready for the presentation on
Saturday afternoon. And for those of you
in lesser known tales—I’m thinking of you, Clever Manka—this would be a great
time to get on the Princess’s radar.
Saturday evening, we’ll dust off our best clothes and dance the night
away at a ball in celebration of the Princess’s return.
On
the subject of balls, a certain princess (with a ball in her tale) was seen
crying recently at the grave of her mother.
And the real gossip? A certain
charming prince was not with her.
I’ve
also heard that the once-and-future-king fended off another evil gift from his
sister. Talk about sibling rivalry! HEA sure has their hands full with them.
Speaking
of our very own Office of Happily Ever After Affairs (HEA), guess which
workaholic Happiologist recently surpassed even
Grimm’s record for Most Citizens Cheered?
Hint: He likes cherry vanilla ice cream.
Oh,
the rumors you’re hearing are true about an evil queen with a love for
apples. She did win the lottery and will be getting to present her present (see
what I did there? Present the present?
Just because I’m a cat doesn’t mean I don’t like puns.) first to the
Princess at Saturday’s presentation. For
Princess Lily’s sake, let’s hope she leaves the combs and laces at home!
But
the rumors you’ve heard about the ProFictionists planning to protest this
weekend’s festivities are false. The
secret head of the ProFiction movement told me (secretly) while they don’t love
the Sparrow family’s reign here in the Fireland, they would not want to upset
the Princess on her first visit. “It’d
be too much for her, you know. Finding
out she’s a princess and finding out that there are people in her kingdom who
don’t want her there. We want to be
ruled by a Fictional, yes, but we don’t want to screw up an innocent kid,
either. Plus, the King’s guards told us we couldn’t.” Well, those guards know who signs their
paychecks!
Dine
at Once Upon a Tine, where a juicy
story will get you a free dessert!
