By: Asmaa Jamil

Narrated by: Sandy Naimou

Magical Mountain is the first book in a fantasy series, Kingdom of Treasures. The book retells the story of Cinderella from the fairy’s perspective, giving listeners insight into a classic fairytale from a fresh viewpoint. Keeping things interesting, Magical Mountain also borrows plot and character elements from 1001 Arabian Nights (Two sisters who were jealous of their younger sister). However, the story fosters its own exciting adventure as it focuses on the fairies and the story following the marriage.

In this tale of love, family, and betrayal, listeners get a glimpse into what it means to be a true female hero from the fairy and human perspectives. In doing so, Magical Mountain veers from traditional fairytale conventions in which men typically fulfill the hero role. The women in the story demonstrate what real courage and strength look like. In the end, the female characters prove to the listener that fighting with heart pays off.
