Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood illustrated by Meg Hunt

Another fractured Cinderella story!
This Cinderella lives in space and longs to fix rocket ships.  Her stepmother, however, requires her to fix household items.  The prince invites everyone to watch the Royal Space Parade but, of course her step family leaves her behind.  Who comes to her rescue? - Her fairy godrobot who equips her with brand new tools and a space suit.
 Life turns around for Cinderella when the Prince's spaceship breaks down and she fixes it.  He invites her to the Galactic Hall for the Gravity-Free Ball.
Individuals looking for a book that does not relegate girls into specific roles will love this title.
When I was reading it aloud the flow of words and rhythm did not feel or sound right but it may have been me.
Borrowed from the library.
