Rating: Summary: Ella Enchanted (BEST BOOK) Review: Do you like spells??Do you like fairy tales?? well if you do you'll LOVE this book. It is wrote by the enchanted "Gail Carson Levine". The story is about a young girl named Ella, that lives in a very magical place called "Frell". Where faries, gnomes,and elves run wild. If you like "Harry Potter" you'll realize that Ella is the female version of the master from "Hogwarts".Ella is faced with many hard times and difficulties throughout the story. She has many challenges, because she is cursed to be obedient no matter what! If somebody commanded her to disown the land of frell she would have to, and if somebody commanded her to kill the king, or herself she would have to do it. This is one of the biggest problems throughout the story. the curse has been in affect since she's been a baby and she tries many times to rid herself of the curse by finding the farie that did it to her(Lucinda). Will Ella have the strength to find this mean farie and will she betray her kingdom?? You'll have to read this book in order to find out.
Rating: Summary: I just wish the book was longer Review: I loved Ella Enchanted. It's my favorite retelling of the Cinderella story. I just wish it was a series or a longer book. When I came to the end, I was sad that it was over. I wanted to learn more about the fun loving Ella. The story starts when Ella was a baby and a fairy, Lucinda, put a curse on her or what Lucinda thought as a gift. The "gift" was obedience, which meant if someone(anyone even if they don't know) gave her a direct order she would have to do it no matter what it is. Ella grows up beliving she's cursed and had to be cursed. The only other people who know about her curse are her mother and their close friend and cook Mandy. Ella's mother orders Ella to never tell anyone about the curse after a expirence Ella had when she was little. This order and curse cause problems latter in Ella's life after her mother died. Mostly when Ella learns the Prince Charmont(she calls him Char)falls for her. Ella also lives in a fantasy land with ogres, gnomes,and centars. It's no ordinary story. An overall good book. You can't go wrong reading this book...
Rating: Summary: What a SPIFFING book !!!! Review: This book is the BEST!!!!! It has so many adventures and emotions in it. I liked EVERYTHING. It was simply great. I like Mandy, Areida, Lucinda(when she's nice), Char, and last, but CERTAINLY NOT least, Ella. It's funny to think how a simple kitchen maid could be a fairy and a little girl like Ella has the curse of obedience and can break it herself with the power of love. It was just SUPERB!!!!!!!! :)
Rating: Summary: Snow White, Cinderella... Review: Many of the old tales which are classics in their own right are in need of a rewrite, a modern approach, updated for today's audiences. The movie Ever After was such an attempt, but in trying to make a stronger female character, she just sounds annoying somehow. AT any rate, to my mind they failed. This book excels, marvelously. This is the Cinderella story we all wish we knew. Ella is strong-willed, but not aggressive. It's also a fun and emotional story. Give it to your daughter, or read it with her, I assure you, you'll both enjoy it. The Newberry Award is definetly justly given to this book.
Rating: Summary: A magnificent twist on a classic fairy tale.... Review: This book was one of the most exciting books I've read in a long time. The author has an amazing style of drawing you into the characters. You get to know them and you actually FEEL their pain. The main character Ella has a "gift" of obedience (i.e. a CURSE) from a "well-meaning" fairy... she MUST obey any order given to her. Throughout the book you hurt right along with Ella as she struggles to overcome the curse.. but can't--therefore making her liable to playing the pawn to anyone's orders--the poor girl would even walk into a fire and kill herself if someone ordered it. You'll be ready to rip the book apart during times when her enemies use her.. and you'll cry with distress and anger at the torment the poor girl is put through. Its a wonderful twist on the classic Cinderella story! Its a definate MUST read for everyone who loves classic fairy tales! Get this book now!

The fairy Lucinda bestowed the curse which was supose to be a gift.I hope a lot of you readers enjoy this book. I defantly recamend this book for children and aulduts to read this book.
Rating: Summary: In Depth Cinderella Review: This book is arguably better than Cinderella! We see deeper into Ella's character; she is more stong-willed, more the ideal girl than Cinderella herself. I didn't really know who she was or what Cinderella was really feeling. It's amazingly creative, and the Prince, Char, seems even more dreamy than Cinderella's prince!
Rating: Summary: A beautiful re-telling of cinderella! Review: When my best friend lent me this book from America I didn't think much of it.But when I read it I abosolutely loved it! It made me happy and made me cry! I loved it! A must read.
