Summary: My kind of Cinderella!
Review: I read this book after re-discovering fairy tales (in college of all places!) and it's one of the best takes on the Cinderella story! You wonder why Cinderella put up with her mean sisters and how she was the only one who fit into the glass slipper - your questions will be answered here. I couldn't put it down and I was sorry that it had to end.

Review: I'm so excited that they are making this a movie!
Ella Enchanted is a fascinating twist on Cinderella. It's the story of a girl who is cursed. She always had to be obedient. If you tell her to cut off her own head she would have to obey.
Things go okay until her mother dies. Then her father sends her to finishing school with two horrible girls who figure out that she has to obey them and try to control her.
On top of all this, she is falling in love with the Prince of Kyrria. Ella realizes that she would be a danger to him. If someone told her to kill him, she would have to do it. Can she break the curse before it is too late? Along her quest to break the curse, she meets up with many fairy tale creatures like ogres, fairies, elves, and giants. This book is a must read.

Summary: the way cinderella should be told*
Review: ella is a very talented little girl, with a curse of obidience. She has to overcome that cuse herself if she wants to save the very dearest person to her. I've read this book like 5 times and it never gets old. If you looking for a funny, romantic, fantasy-like story than this is the perfect book for you. You should also check out gail's other books like dave at night, the wish, and the two princesses of Bammare! All are great and wonderful stories.

Summary: Fantastically Fantastic
Review: This is one of the best books of all time. The plot, characters, dialogue, EVERYTHING was well-thought out and realistic. Even after five years of reading, re-reading and re-re-reading this book (I am, after all, only fifteen) this is still one of the best I've seen. If anyone is ever going to take a trip into another world, reserve a place on your ticket for Kyrria (the country this takes place in) and you won't be disappointed. If you want more about the book, here it is: A "misguided" (not evil, Lucinda just doesn't see things the way they should be) puts a curse on Ella (the heroine) and Ella must find a way to break it, or else...(which is what you'll find out). Read it!!!

Summary: One of my 2 favorite books!
Review: Ella is given the "gift" of obiedience at birth by a stupid fairy. She must obey any command given to her. (i.e. if somebody told her to eat a spider or even jump off a cliff she would have to!) She must break this curse to save herself and the people around her! This book was interesting and clever. Gail Carson Levine's best book! I would recommend this book to anyone ages 10-15!

Summary: The Curious Girl
Review: A Review by MandyMy book that I read Is basically about a girl named Ella. Ever since she was little girl she got cursed by this fairy tale that was once told to her when she was just a baby. And now she believes that she has to do anything that someone says to her .What ever they say she has to obey them. Ever since her mother died when she was very young she had a hard time adjusting to it. Even though she don't quite remember her that well she does her best to remember. But her new step mother Hattie is a very mean lady. She is very picky about everything that goes on. Like when ever they eat supper, or breakfast if its not the way that she likes it or wants it then she has her maid take it back. Also, she will never let Ella eat the food either unless she approves also. But she is trying to find a way to brake the spell so that she could be free of it. She talks to a girl named mandy and she gives Ella advise on what to do. Mandy is her very best friend she is helping Ella to brake the curse also. But she is trying to find a fairy named Lucinda she believes that she is the one who put the curse on her. But she is having a hard time finding her she looks through books, and goes out side and trys to find her but she is no where in sight. That's basically what the book is about a girl who is trying to brake a curse in order to set herself free. What I liked about this book is that it seemed so real. Like it talks about hattie her step mother and how she is so picky about everything that involves Ella or herself. I think that is really funny because I could relate to that some of my family is like the same way. And the fairy that she is trying to find Lucinda that's cool because I think that fairy's are really neat and magical. But she also has a good friend to talk to and that's Mandy and that's my name but I could also relate to that because I have friends that I could relate to like that for advise when I need it or just give it out. So this book is about the girl who tries to break a curse and people could relate to her because like sometimes I sure feel the same way as her trying to break the curse of my family. This book was fun reading because even though it's a fairy tale book its also real because she living her life as a teen and trying to get away with life. I think that people could relate to this book because it deals with teens getting through life even though the girl has a curse on her so does every other person in there family. Kids these days are trying to get away with things that they know that they can't. I recommend this book to all ages but probably to most teens though like 10-18 that's the average of the reading level for me. But this book has mystery in it that's keeps you in suspicion all through the book. Even though some parts of the book is boring it really good through out the book.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I read this book last year after i got my library card renewed. It was like the third one i checked out. I LOVED it!!!!! It was funny and it made me laugh sometimes. A lot of the time it made me frustrated too though. Because everyone took advantage of her gift. It pulled me in and i felt like i was Ella. Really a good read

Summary: Awesome Book!!
Review: My 3rd grade teacher read this story as a read aloud after me and a friend decided not to partner read. I f was supposed to be doing make-up work during read aloud I would listen instead. I then made my mother go buy it. Since I have read it 5 more times. It is an awesome book!! It is basically a retelling of Cinderella with unbelievable twists and turns that gives it its own personnality and makes it its own story.

Summary: Don't Want to pass up this book!
Review: In the begining you figure out that Ella has an unusual "gift from the fairy Lucinda.
The book starts with "That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me. She meant to bestow a gift. When I cried inconsolably through my first hour of life my tears were her insperation. Shaking her head simpathetically at Mother, the fairy touched my nose. 'My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child.' I stopped."
When Ella is older her mother dies leaving her with her greedy father whose job is being a merchant. I won't give away who her fairy godmother is, but she has one. Once her father sees how clumsy his daughter is he sends her off to finishing school, but don't think any finishing school can hold her. After a series of adventures, including one with Char (her love), also known as the prince, she returns home only to find out that her father is to be marryed to an extremely rich lady with two daughters, one of which has discovered Ella's obedience and uses it to her advantage. Her new stepfamily pushes all of the work on Ella; her only joy is writing to Char.
To find out whether Ella stays trapped under the rule of her stepfamily forever or finally lives happilly ever after you will have to read the book. This is one you definately DON'T want to miss. I have read this book about three times including just reading parts of it. Once you start it you can't put it down, even after you're done! Literally!
