Ella is blessed with the gift of obedience by the fairy Lucinda when she was born. Whenever Ella is told to do something, she must do it, including promising never to revel her terrible secret. When Ella’s mother dies, her father remarries and she is sent to finishing school with her nasty stepsisters, Hattie and Olive. Ella runs away in search of Lucinda to beg to lift the curse, Luncida refuses and Ella returns home and resigns herself to a life of drudgery. Prince Charmont is in love with her, but Ella knows she can never marry him because she could put him in grave danger. Can Ella liberate herself from this evil gift?
My Review:
First of all, the movie Ella Enchanted is crap! It doesn’t do justice for the book. The book is straight up amazing, one of those all time classic children’s books that will never grow old.
Ella is strong, determined, and very obedient. I love her cleverness that she uses with everyone to avoid obedient commands. I’ve always found this book to be hilarious and romantic.Especilly when she messes with her step sisters. Don’t mess with Ella!
Prince Charmont and Ella’s letters and conversations are beautiful. This is a must read because all of us can relate to Ella is some way or another.
I finished the audiobook a few days ago and it was awesome! The reader did great with the voices and dialoge. So fun!
Watch Out For: Captured by human-eating ogres, trickery, running away, death, evil stepmother and sisters.
