Ella Enchanted
Gail Carson Levine
A delightful twist on the traditional Cinderella story, Ella Enchanted follows the story of Ella, who is cursed with the "gift" of obedience at birth. Determined to break the curse and take control of her own life, Ella embarks on a quest for freedom and self-discovery, fending off ogres, befriending elves, and falling in love with a prince along the way. With a balanced and humorous relationship between Ella and the prince, this enchanting tale is an examination of traditional female roles in fairy tales and a richly deserved Newbery Honor award winner.
