New this month from the University of Nebraska Press is Cinderella Ball: A Look Inside Small College Basketball in West Virginia by Bob Kuska. West Virginia was once a “basketball hotbed” but interest has begun to wane in the past few decades and now most of these teams play in obscurity. What Cinderella Ball does is tell the moving story of one small town team’s rise to success. Following their day to day struggles over 4 seasons, Kuska shows us this game from both the “bleachers and the court.” This week Tuesday Trivia is going to work with the Cinderella theme and see how much we know about the first rags to riches fairytale.

1.    Was Cinderella born a princess?
2.    What are the names of Cinderella’s stepsisters?
3.    Where was Cinderella when her fairy godmother appeared to her?
4.    At the start of the movie, what were the mice using Cinderella’s shoes for?
5.    Who prevents Gus from slipping the key into Cinderella’s room?
6.    When Cinderella comes downstairs ready for the ball, what do her stepsisters do to her dress?
7.    What was the color of this dress?
8.    What does Cinderella save the animals for breakfast?
9.    Who takes the fairy godmothers wand?
10.    What does Cinderella leave behind at the ball?
