Summary: Ella Enchanted
Review: Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine, is a well written Fantasy children's book. It has unreal creatures such as ogres and fairies, and deals with magic and curses. Ella Enchanted starts out with Ella, a 15 year old girl with a curse, a curse of obediance. No matter what someone tells her, she must do it, or her head will ache and other symptoms show until she finally does it. She helps out her fairy godmother, Mandy in the kitchen most of the time. After her mother's death however, her busy father sends her off to finishing school, and under horrible circumstances. She must travel with two girls, who both boss her around and take all of her food. Once she gets there, she appears to be a monstrocity of a lady. She must go through a lot of finishing and a quest to try to break her irking curse in this Newberry Honor book. This book was pretty good. It was likeable, and although the ending was pretty good, it wasn't good enough to score a five for me. This book would be good for boys and girls in third to seventh grade

Summary: Ella Enchanted
Review: I really enjoyed this book! The story is about Ella, a girl who was cursed from birth by the fairy, Lucinda, who meant to bestow a gift of obedience. No matter what anyone demands, or commands, Ella must obey, so her life is very much in danger. It talks about how Ella tries to fight the curse, and how she tries to end it. This story was very interesting, and highly amusing. Ella is such a humourous person, and so lively. I thought this book would be boring, but this turns out to be one of my favorite books. I would suggest people of all age.

Review: I loved Ella Enchanted! It's one of my favorite books. It's about a girl named Ella who was cursed as a baby. She has to do anything that anyone tells her...literally! She has a wonderful personality and does a good job of overcoming the obsticals in her life. This is a hilarious book! Even the most dramatic parts were laugh out loud funny! You didn't know whether to laugh or cry! This is a great book for anyone! All my friends love it. One said, " It's weird, I loved Ella Enchanted, but it's not my kind of book at all!"

Summary: Stephanie's book review
Review: Ella Enchanted was a wonderful book. It was kind of like Cinderella. In this book Ella is the main character. She is a nice girl who was given a gift of obedience. When Ella was just a child her mother passed away. Her father, who was a merchant, sent her away to school. He then remarried. This witch that he married had two daughters. The oldest one, Hattie, took advantage of Ella. Ella got a lot of gifts along the way that helped her to be very, very successful along her journey. These gifts were very special and showed her many wonderful things. Ella also met a prince named Char. They became very close. Char bought her things and Ella made him laugh. They did many things together. I would recommend this book to almost anyone who can read, especially those who like fairy tales, such as Cinderella!

Summary: Kyra's book review
Review: I think this book was really good. I think it is good because it is like Cinderella, and I like Cinderella a lot. That is a good story. The story was a lot like Cinderella except a little bit of things. One thing was they had diffrent names in Ella Enchanted.In Cinderella they didn't have any curses on anybody. They didn't have a lot of fairies up in the Cindrerlla story. Some of the ways the story is alike is by having a ball. Another way the story is alike is that the Prince is looking for someone to marry at the ball and he finds that person. Ella Enchanted is really good. I think it will be interesting to a lot of little kids because they like a lot of interesting stories and movies. I think a lot of kids will like Ella Enchanted because it is just like Ciderella and lots of kids like it. I recommend little kids to read Ella Enchanted and I recommend this book to anybody because the book is very good and exciting to me. That is why I recommend this book to anybody.

Summary: Ella Enchanted
Review: When Ella was born she had a gift of obedience. But the gift was actually a curse. The curse was given to Ella by Lucinda. A fairy. She had to do anything people told her to do. Later her mother dies and then she meets prince Char. Then her dad remarried to somebody who Ella dosen't like very much. Ella also has two mean, cruel step sisters. Ella tries to find Lucinda again to undo the curse. Along the way Ella make contacts with different people,such as ogres,elves,giants,and gnomes.This story is based on the story of Cinderella. Ella Enchanted has a pumpkin coach,glass slippers,and little animals that turn into people. I think this book is great. The book has romance,magic,action and all the other stuff fairytales have. In the beginning the book is kind of boring,but when it's towards the end,it starts to get the readers attention.

Summary: My Favorite Book Ever!!
Review: Alright, I am a fifteen year old girl who has read this book atleast twelve times. It is the very best book. It starts out with a girl, but no ordinary girl. Ella is cursed by air-headed Lucinda who believes the gift of obedience is a welcomed one. But having to do what everyone says doesn't keep Ella from being feisty, it only edges her on. Once her mother dies by the first chapter, your hooked on this book. Ella battles evil step sisters, orges, and an evil step-mother. All she wishes is to be with her love, Prince Charmont. This retelling is the best. There is no room to improve. Ella is a clumsy girl with brains and the guts to use them. She solves her own problems and delightfully enchants everyone she meets, even the reader. No person, whatever age, should go with out reading this book. I mean no one!

Summary: My Most Favorite Book Ever!
Review: The first time I ever came across the book Ella Enchanted was in 5th grade. Now, in 7th grade, the book is still my favorite as much as ever. This is how I got hold of it: my teacher had just ordered some new books, this book among them. I offered to read Ella Enchanted first. For the first few pages, I didn't think it would be very good. But that didn't last long as Ella was forced to endure finishing school with the odious Hattie and Olive. By the time Ella had escaped and been caught by ogres, I knew I was forever hooked. The story is very similar to the fairy-tale Cinderella. This is just a longer version, talking about life before the evil stepmother and stepsisters and before Ella's mother died. This is very creative, and each time I read it I like it more. It's been, ever since that fortunate day in 5th grade, my absolute favorite book. In fact, I've read it so many times, that it's falling apart and a few pages are missing. But it doesn't matter since I have those pages memorized! My heart is fluttering every time I get to the part at the very end, my favorite part, of the three balls where Char (prince Charming) and Ella (Cinderella) reunit and get married. Of course, in the balls Ella fasions herself as Lela of Bast, instead of Ella of Frell because of her curse. She knows that if she marries Char while cursed she and her whole country would be in peril. I always shiver in delight when Ella finally breaks the cures- out of pure love for Char and determindation to save him and the country she loves. I highly reccommend this book and am proud to rate it a five star book!
