Book Reviews of Ella Enchanted (Trophy Newbery)

Book Review: A Cinderalla for the modern reader.
Summary: 5 Stars

This rich and delightful retelling of Cinderella provides a saucy heroine, a rational explanation of her slavish ways with her wicked step-family and a fresh love story to boot. Lucinda, a foolish fairy, bestows the gift of obedience on Ella at birth, which turns out to be a terrible burden. All is more or less well until her mother unexpectedly dies, and Ella is shipped off to finishing school with her cruel and demanding step-sisters-to-be. Ella runs off to find Lucinda in hopes of lifting the curse and has many adventures, but the curse stays in place. Full of fairy tale elements, Ella, who is a linguistic genius, manages to do her best despite the peril she finds herself in as a result of uncompromising obedience. The romance between Ella and Char, the prince, is clever and endearing. As the traditional elements of the tale unfold, those readers who enjoyed original versions will adore this new and improved offering.
