by Gail Carson LevineThis is a totally enjoyable, clever take-off of the Cinderella story. There are enough twists and turns along with some new story elements to make this a 'new' story, not just a retelling of the same story.
I would have love this book as a youngster. And since I didn't read in my younger days, I'm glad I can still read a youth or YA book and today and experience much the same pleasure.
Ella Enchanted is a Newbery Honor book.
Thanks, Booklogged. This looks like another good one.

ReplyDeleteright now she won't let me read to her. she wants to read everything HERSELF.
I've never read the book, but my daughters and I loved the movie!! Anne Hathaway is really good in it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the movie with Anna Hathway?
ReplyDeleteI read this to my girls when they were young. It is still one of our favorites.
ReplyDeletei loved this book! i also enjoyed the movie - Anne Hathaway is darling as Ella - but the book is much, much better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across this book as an adult and enjoyed it very much! I tried a few others by LeVine and they weren't half as good.
