Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.
Awesome book to start of this adventure! I just can not wait for what lies ahead for this story reading journey. Hopefully many of the books to come will live up to this one! Ella Enchanted is a cute book with a deeper story of Cinderella. There is a girl named Ella who has an awesome personality you will get to know and enjoy. The most fascinating part is Ella at birth is given a fairies "gift" of obedience. While you would think any parent would enjoy this "gift", Ella and her mother look at it as a curse, which truthfully it is. Ella is left with no agency and no matter how she tries she can not disobey. Yet still she tries in vain.
Later on Ella after the tragic death of her mother she meets a "Charming" prince named Char. <3 against="against" and="and" at="at" basically="basically" br="br" char="char" command="command" commanded="commanded" dad="dad" death="death" do="do" ella="ella" everything="everything" evil="evil" excels="excels" fancies="fancies" figures="figures" finishing="finishing" for="for" hattie="hattie" her.="her." her="her" information="information" is="is" mother="mother" must="must" of="of" olive.="olive." out="out" over="over" personality="personality" recent="recent" school.="school." sends="sends" she="she" sisters="sisters" spends="spends" the="the" there="there" they="they" this="this" time="time" to.="to." to="to" totally="totally" uncaring="uncaring" unsporting="unsporting" use="use" which="which" whopped="whopped" wishes="wishes" with="with" yet="yet">to her advantage. Ella runs away in search of the fairy who gave her the "gift" so she can demand to have it taken away. Later on Hattie and Olive become Ella's step sisters!!She goes through much turmoil but I will leave all that for you to read for I fear I have told to much already!
What I most ardently enjoy about this book is the clever telling of Cinderella's story. Yes it has a prince, a ball, a curfew, fairy godmother,and a happily ever after. Yet the thing that touches me most is the courage and unwavering strength of Ella, especially when she must over come herself and the horrid curse!
A for AWESOMENESS! :D
