The Salmon Princess An Alaska Cinderella Story by Mindy Dwyer*

When a salmon fisherman remarries, his daughter is stuck gutting all the fish he and his stepsons catch.  When the Silver Salmon festival arrives, she longs to dance and enjoy festivities.  A magical Eagle helps her achieve this dream and her life is forever changed.
A very clever twist on the traditional Cinderella.  Heaps of Alaskan culture!
Lots of similes!
Strategies-inferring (character traits, feelings, similes), connections (T-T)
*Highly recommend.
