Summary: Ella Enchanted
Comment: I was looking for a book at my school's book fair last year, and I picked up this one, just because it seemed the most interesting one there. I didn't actually expect to like it as much as I did. I finished it the next day. The story had kept my mind firmly locked in the book. When I stopped all I wanted to do ws read more. Ella is a teen-aged girl living in imaginary Kyrria, a land where myth and fairy tale comes alive. She is the daughter of Sir Peter of Frell, who is never at home. Ella is torn when her mother dies of illness. But there is a stroke of luck when Ella befriends Prince Charmont (you might not notice it now, I didn't at first, but look at the name, what does it resemble?). Ella is soon sent to finishing school, which she runs away from when Hattie, her future stepsister (though she doesn't know this at the time) orders her to stopping being friends with Areida, her only solace at the place. Oh did I mention that Ella has a curse that says she must be obedient? I won't tell you anymore because it would give the story away. I will only say that this was a very interesting and much better story than the original fairy tale, which is almost unrecognizable it is so different. I loved how real the characters were, I could actually see myself in Ella. Any young teen girl would love this book.

Summary: Ella Enchanted book review
Comment: Ella Enchanted is an excellent novel about a 13 year old girl named, Ella. Her determination to beat a curse that was put on her as a little girl is strong and makes the story interesting and a page turner.
Ella's so called 'gift' is that of obedience. Anything she is told to do she must obey! She looses her mother and must learn to love a father to whom she is not close. At her mother's funeral she meets Prince Charmont and becomes good friends with him. They do many things together such as go to the royal zoo. There, they keep exotic birds that can talk!! Ella is excellent at memorizing languages. She can talk to allsorts of fairy tale creatures! Ella is determined to find the evil fairy that put such a curse on her, Lucinda, so she may undo it. Although it may not be that easy. Along the way she has many adventures to keep you on the edge of your seat. She meets up with ogres, befriends elves, and falls in love.
Her fairy godmother, and the family cook, becomes a substitute care taker and friend when her mother dies. When her father finds out about his daughter becoming a lady by the way of a cook he sends her off to finishing school with her soon to be step sisters. They are not only mean and obnoxious, but spoiled and conceded. Her father marries the mother of the girls who is just as horrible if not worse than the daughters. Since her father is away on his demanding business of trade she is stuck with her bossy step sisters and wretched step mother. She is made a slave in her own house!
This fantasy novel is fabulous and exciting to read. I award it 4 stars out of 5 because it could be a little slow at times, but very rarely. Gail Carson Levine's re-telling of the classic fairy tale Cinderella is magnificent! The imagery you will get will be astonishing and the detail is well thought out and invoking. Gail Carson Levine has an imagination of a 5 year old child! I recommend this book for the ages 8-13, but if you like Cinderella this book is a MUST READ!!!
Rating: 5
Summary: A totally great book
Comment: I just finished reading Ella Enchanted for a book report at school, and I loved it! Ella is given a "gift" of obedience at birth by a foolish fairy named Lucinda. She has to obey any order that anyone gives her. Ella finds Lucinda one day and beggs her to take the curse away. But Lucinda still doesn't realize that her gift is a curse. Then, when Ella's fairy godmother, Mandy, tells Lucinda to try her gifts on herself, she realizes what she has done. She gets rid of her magic, so she can't take away the curse from Ella. Find out how Ella breaks it herself!
