Ella Enchanted is a tale of a young girl living with a curse. The curse makes Ella obey everything that she is told to do. After her mother dies, a new woman and her two children come into Ella and her father's life. The step-sister discovers the power she has over Ella and uses it cruelly. Ella spends most of the book trying to find the fairy, Lucinda, that put the spell on her, and have it reversed. She is also enjoying spending time with the prince, Char.
This is a fun book filled with ogres and fairies. The curse is an interesting concept and it is enjoyable to watch it play out. Ella is very likable and the romantic chemistry with Prince Char is nice as well. You really find yourself rooting for Ella. This is a creative imaginary book that I would recommend. It is also a deserved Newbery Honor book.
