Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

When Ella of Frell was born, a careless fairy gave her a gift: the “gift” of obedience. Ever after, Ella is magically compelled to do everything she is told. Rather than becoming obedient in her heart, however, Ella becomes a rebel, doing her best to resist the curse and free herself from other peoples' orders. In the process, Ella grows into a determined young woman, brave and kind.

What follows is a fabulous story of adventure, courage, friendship, and a hint of romance. But the best part of the fairytale is Ella, whose delightful personality lights up this terrific story and makes it dazzle.

Note: If you liked the movie "Ella Enchanted," try reading the book - the story is quite different, but just as much fun!
