Cinder by Marissa Meyer (Lunar Chronicles #1)

Cinder, a gifted mechanic and a cyborg with a mysterious past, is blamed by her stepmother for her stepsister's illness while a deadly plague decimates the population of New Beijing, but when Cinder's life gets intertwined with Prince Kai's, she finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle.

Recommended by a UHS student: “It's a great sci-fi adaptation of a classic fairy tale, many of the characters in the book (and series overall) are minorities. It’s engaging and funny, and it's extremely insightful.”
