Ella is a pretty normal 12-year-old girl, except for
one thing. When Ella was born a foolish fairy gave her a gift. It was
the gift of obedience. But it turns out that this gift is a curse. Ella
must obey any order whether she wants to or not. To find out if Ella
breaks the curse, you have to read the book.
I liked this book because of all the fairy tale
creatures, But I didn't like the way the characters are described. I
would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys lots of fantasy.

At birth a young girl, Ella, is enchanted.
This is a gift but not a gift you would want. It is the
gift of obedience. Anything someone tells Ella to do she will
have to do it. For example, if someone tells Ella to marry
them she will have to.
When Ella gets older she tries to find the
fairy who cast this horrible spell on her. She finds out from
her fairy Godmother that the fairy is Lucinda, the most
powerful fairy of all. On Ella's adventure to find Lucinda
Ella meets up with very different creatures. Will Ella ever find
Lucinda? Will she be able to control her own life? Find out by
reading Ella Enchanted.

Ella has a fairy for a godmother. Her mother dies after she gets really sick and her
father likes to buy and sell many different kinds of things. For example, he buys a
little house that lights up from a fairy who builds them. A fairy named Lucida puts
an evil curse on Ella that makes her obey every order someone gives her. But when her dad
makes her go to a finishing school, Ella runs away. She plans to go to a giant's wedding
to see if she can find Lucida and get her to take the spell away. Read this book to
find out if Ella can break the spell.

| Reviewer: Meryl A. '08 This book is about a girl named Ella who is under a spell put on her by a
fairy named Lucinda .The spell is that if someone gives her an order she has to do it even
if it is to cut off her own head. If you want to find out whether she breaks the spell or
not you should read this book.
I think if you like fantasy you should definitely read this book. I
think this a good book because it has a twisted climax .It could have been better with, a
more exciting beginning!

| Reviewer: Jen M. '07 Ella Enchanted is about a young girl, Ella, who has a spell, to
always be obedient, cursed on her by the fairy Lucinda when she was just born . Now older,
Ella’s father travels all over and her mother is dead. Ella’s father finds an
evil wife with two daughters just as evil. The two daughters find out about Ella’s
spell, and make Ella do things that she cannot prevent doing. Ella goes on a journey to
find Lucinda to break the spell.
I would recommend this book to people who like medieval
fantasy. I think that they would really enjoy it.

When Ella was born a spell of obedience, which forced her to obey all commands, was
cast on her by a fairy. Ella’s enemy, Hattie, took advantage of the spell by asking
Ella to do things that weren’t necessary. Will Ella ever be free from this
everlasting spell?This fairy tale is also a suspenseful,
page-turning mystery. Usually, when I read books like this one I can predict the ending by
the middle of the book. Ella Enchanted fooled me though.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to think creatively
and anyone who likes fairy tales.
