Title: Ella Enchanted
Author: Gail Carson Levine
I'll spare you the plot summary, since I'm pretty sure that practically everyone who would read this blog already knows that Ella Enchanted is an expanded, fleshed-out version of Cinderella. And a good one at that. We read it this month for our book club (and I started reading it to Annie, who loves it) and also had a good discussion of Cinderella stories, the princess phenomenon and modern heroines in historical novels. And I came home with something new to read (Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister) which is always a good thing.
