Synopsis
Two teen nannies learn the dangers of losing old boyfriends and gaining new ones in the glamorous but deceptive world of the rich and powerful., Weaving aspects of fairy tales, fables, and adventure stories together, BELLA AT MIDNIGHT is spun from an unlikely series of events that results in Bella, the beautiful young daughter of a hateful knight, being the only hope for a war-torn kingdom. Lovingly raised by peasants, Bella returns at age 13 to her father's house, where she receives only neglect, hardship, and scorn from him and his new family. But when she hears of a dastardly plot hatched by the king involving a prince she knew as a child, Bella springs into action, taking her country's fate with her.
Industry Reviews
"Stanley subtly twists strands of the Cinderella story until it's something new and quite fine...What raises this above other re-created fairy tales is the quality of the writing dotted with jeweled description and anchored by the strong values--loyalty, truth, honor. Stanley helps readers understand nobility, not in the sense of aristocracy, but as it signifies dignity and decency."
