Ella Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine


Ella Enchanted is about a girl who has to do everything she is told. She was given this "gift" by a fairy named Lucinda, who did not understand that forcing someone to be obedient is definitely not a gift. Ella journeys throughout the book, looking for Lucinda to beg her to take back the gift. This journey tests Ella in everyway, with new dangers around every turn.

I think this book is one of those "I can't put it down" books. You can't wait to find out how Ella of Frell fights her way past her curse, the gift of obedience. You may ask "why is that a curse?". Well, it's a curse because if someone told her to chop off her own head she would have to do it. But the curse only starts causing trouble when one of Dame Olga's daughters, Hattie, discovers it and uses it for her own good. It only gers worse when her widowed father marries Dame Olga and when her father leaves on business Hattie shares her knowledge with the rest of the family. Plus Prince Char son of the king proposes to her. Will Ella put Prince Char in danger and marry him? Find out in Ella Enchanted.
