What is your overall impression of the book? 

Ella Enchanted (Ella Enchanted #1)Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked how Ella Enchanted is a fractured fairy tale that is based off of Cinderella. Most people have read Cinderella or are familiar with the story, so the book is very relatable. However, the book has many twists that help to make the book surprising. These surprises ensure that you don't get bored, while you are still reading a story that you have heard many times.

What is the book about?

The book is about a girl named Ella who is cursed by a fairy named Lucinda. She wants to break the curse, but she can't and Lucinda is the only fairy stupid enough to do big magic. She is in danger at every moment.

Who are the main characters in the book?

There is only one main character. Her names is Ella. Ella is a girl who is cursed by a fairy. Her mother died at the beginning of the book, so she really struggles with what to do. She doesn't know if she can keep living with the curse in effect.

What is your favorite part of the book?

My favorite part was when Ella comes out of the curtain and Lucinda gasps, since it is funny when she gasps, since she didn't expect that. She asks why the other fairy brought an intruder to see her. Then she realizes that maybe Ella has received one of her "gifts". If your wondering, my favorite part is on page 194-195.                                                                                         

What is your favorite character?

My favorite character is Ella because she is the main character. She has a knack for languages. She could copy the bird that spoke Gnomic but Char (Prince Charmont) couldn't and gave up. She tries to not follow an order but it is very hard even for a few minutes. She turns red, gets a buzzing in her ear, and the floor tilts so much that she fears that she will fall off her bed.

Who would you recommend/not recommend this book to?

I would recommend this book to people who like fairy tales and fantasy. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who like reality and nonfiction. The book is for ages eight and up but I think it is okay to start reading this book before you are eight.  

Do you want to get your own copy of the book?

  *Disclaimer*: This is a work of fiction. Some events may be based on real life, but some events are made up.           God save Cora, please, please, if nothing else please save her, I prayed. Suddenly I heard a thunk coming from the top of my helicopter. “Helicopter, let the thing on the roof come in.”, I ordered. Suddenly, Cora popped in. I was surprised. “Cora! How did you get to the roof of my helicopter?” I asked her. “Well,” Cora said, “When I went up to avoid the helicopters, a radio in my helicopter came to life and a voice said, ‘Code Yellow. Report that someone snuck into the dungeon to Code Black and Code Blue’. I didn’t know what to do, so I just walked out of my helicopter and jumped onto yours.” I nodded, but I was a little annoyed. Someone could have seen Cora and what would they do? “Umm, okay.” I said, “Did anyone see you?” Cora scrunched up her nose, wiggled it, and then did a funny hula dance. Finally, she started racing around...

            *Disclaimer*: This is a work of fiction. Some events may be based on real life, but some events are made up.           As Clara was struggling on what to say, Isabella was tapping her foot impatiently, and Mingmei was looking miserable and crying softly, Nabal was still searching for a way out. A way out of his stupid prison because once he was out, he could start his new mission. One bad move could get him killed, but this was just a stepping stone to his lifelong dream! Isabella I held my breath. Clara sighed and said, “I won’t do that, but I’ll make a different deal.” I bit my lip. Was Clara abandoning me?  “What?” I asked, with bitterness in my voice. Asking couldn’t hurt, right? Besides, it’s not like anybody cares about me anyways. Even Clara likes Mingmei better. I have to admit, even Cecilia sometimes seems better than my family right now, and she’s basically my bitter enemy. Because before w...
