Ella Enchanted

The book "Ella Enchanted", by Gail Carson Levine, is a remake of the classic fairy tale, "Cinderella". In this version, the main character, Ella of Frell, falls under the evil spell of the fairy Lucinda at birth, the "gift" of obedience. Because of this, she has been forced to do anyone's bidding at any time, no matter what it was, and she could not refuse, no matter how she tried to fight it. But, she continually tries to cure herself, while she has to deal with ogres, fairies, evil stepsisters and a stepmother, giants and other magical creatures. And, she even catches her "Prince Char". Hmm, wonder what that could stand for....I would recommend this book more to a younger crowd, but any age can adore this book as I did.
