Product Description

Synopsis
ELLA ENCHANTED is a witty, refreshing take on the popular fairytale, Cinderella which preserves the spirit of the original but adds plenty of humorous twists and a spunky, intelligent female protagonist. "If you've read HARRY POTTER, try ELLA ENCHANTED" Publishers Weekly Ella is given a blessing at birth by a very stupid fairy: She gets the gift of obedience! but the blessing turns into a horror for Ella who literally has to do what anyone and everyone tells her, from sweeping the floor to giving up a prrecious necklace! She has to battle with ogres and wicked stepsisters, make friends and loose them, and even deny she loves her Prince Char to save his life and his kingdom. The story overthrows the stereotypes of the original Cinderella when Ella breaks the curse -- not the prince -- saving not only herself, but Prince Char as well. And Ella rejects his proposal of marriage, at least until she decides herself to propose to him! And the curse is only broken because she's said 'No!' rather than 'Yes!'. -- "If you've read Harry Potter, try ELLA ENCHANTED."

Publishers Weekly -- High in Publishers Weekly Bestseller list for several months -- A Newbery Honor Medal winner, 1998 -- SHORTLISTED WITH hARRY pOTTER IN jULY FOR THE aMERICAN mYTHOPAEIC aWARD (dIANA wYNNE jONES WON).

5.0 out of 5 stars The new Cinderella, 5 Jul 2004
My only comment is WOW, you have to read this book. Its a new age cinderella with a twist. Ella is cursed from birth so that she has to do whatever people tell her to, god could you imagine!
Well Ella hates this, but then she meets the gorgeous charming Prince Char and falls in love with him (i even fell for him), in this stories you see the up and downs of this young girls' life and love. Once i started reading this i could'nt put it down.
You can relate to the characters so much coming into there own and growing up, if your into a good romance with humor and exciting twists then this book is for you.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a fairytale,a nd a happy ending!

5.0 out of 5 stars read it in one go - loved it to bits!, 3 Dec 2005
Ella enchanted was absolutley BRILLIANT! i was engrossed from the very first page, and i read the book in one go it was so good.
Ella was given the gift of obedience by the stupid fairy, Lucinda (who's gifts also include being turned into a squirrel), when she was a baby. She must obey everything anyone tells her, from giving away her mother's valuable necklace to breaking up with her best friend. It is physically impossible for her to disobey!
Soon, her evil stepsister Hattie realises that she can make Ella do whatever she tells her to, and Ella ends up as a scullery maid. She is even forced to leave her beloved Prince Char! Looks like Ella needs some help from her fairy godmother...
Will Ella and Prince Char be together again? Will Ella ever be free of her curse? I stayed up all night reading, i was so desperate to find out!
I would recommend Ella Enchanted to anyone who wants a really good read, but particularly girls aged 12-15. It is the best book i've read all year, and you won't be wasting a single penny by buying this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is so brilliant ! I want to marry char!!, 22 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I found this book absolutely brilliant and first read it when i was 14 years old. I still love reading it now at the age of 15. It has been passed down to my two younger sisters who also absolitely adored it and couldnt put it down. This book is full of tension,romance, and grief all expressed as a mixture of emotions which add to the real character of the book. The fairy like genre and the small intakes from other fairytales adds to the book being so exciting to read. I myself honestly have read it numinous amounts of times and still feel it as refreshing as when i first read it. I loved the character 'Prince Charmont' and just fell in love with him (literally). Wouldn't he just be great boyf material. Didn't you just want to be Ella? Anyway the storyline of ella having a curse was a great ide of the author. But please couldnt she just write a sequel to the story? It would be ever so much appreciated and we could follow the love and marriage of ella and char. I think i will always have a copy of this book as long as i live and will read it to my children when i am older as it would be great for them to experience this book as i have. So, finally thankyou gail for giving us this wonderful story to read, But couldnt you just write a sequel? Pleeaaasssee!!
