content: Ella Enchanted is a remarkable story about never giving up, even when circumstances are grim. Very humorous and inspiring, this book is one of the best fantasy novels ever written. The heroine of the story, Ella, faces many difficulties as a teenager. After dealing with the death of her mother, an evil stepmother with two evil daughters, and a very unique curse, Ella is able to stop and get what she really wants: Freedom. Gail Carson Levine did a marvolous job on writing this story.
