Ella Enchanted is by Gail Carson Levine. This is a charming take on the traditional Cinderella tale. Ella is the daughter of a rich merchant. At her birth the fairy Lucinda curses Ella with the "gift" of obedience. When given an order she must obey no matter what. After her mother's death her step-sister discovers the curse and makes Ella's life miserable. Ella decides to find Lucinda and have her rescind the "gift". Will she succeed? Will she get to go to the ball? And what about Prince Char? A very cute tale, much better than the movie version.
Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
