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.
one to share with s when she's a bit older...
right 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!
Isn't this the movie with Anna Hathway?
I read this to my girls when they were young. It is still one of our favorites.
i loved this book! i also enjoyed the movie - Anne Hathaway is darling as Ella - but the book is much, much better than the movie.
I 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.
