Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine


Rating: 5/5
Review: This was a wonderful story, and much better then the movie, which I loved. Ella has far more troubles and adventures in this book, and there are a few things that the movie portrayed that didn't happen in the book. The ending was very sweet. I loved Ella's personality, her bravery, and her kindness. This will definitely have to go down on my wishlist, as I would certainly read it again and again.
Book Description: In this incredible debut novel comes the richly entertaining story of Ella of Frell, who at birth was given the gift of obedience by a fairy. Ella soon realizes that this gift is little better than a curse, for how can she truly be herself if at anytime anyone can order her to hop on one foot, or cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom'and she'll have to obey? Against a bold tapestry of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella's quest to break the curse once and for all and discover who she really is is as sharply funny as Catherine, Called Birdy and as richly poignant as Beauty, and has all the marks of a classic in the making.
