Overview
This fractured fairy tale weaves the story of Zelina, or “Zel.” After Zel’s mother passes away, the homeschooled teen returns to public school. But her extraordinarily long hair isn’t the only thing that draws attention to her. Zel’s smarts provoke the jealousy of a cheerleader who competes with her academically. Zel also finds herself drawn to gymnastics despite her clumsy form. Will her rival get her down, or will Zel swing into action? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
