Ella+Enchanted

Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine, is about a girl named Ella, who lives in a world of fairies and magic. When she was born, a fairy came to her home and put a spell on her. Because of that, Ella was forced to follow every order that was given to her. She always tries to resist it, but it never works. While she is still young, her mother dies, and her insensitive father remarries to a horrible woman, named Dame Olga. She and her two daughters, Hattie and Olive, set out to make Ella's life miserable. One day, Ella meets a Prince named Char. They fall in love, and because of this, Ella sets out on a quest to find the fairy who put the spell on her, because only THAT fairy would be able to end it. She doesn't want to endanger the Prince's life, because if someone ordered her to kill him, she would have to do it.

I think it's an exciting story, with a little bit of romance as well. I loved this book, and I can read it over and over again! Gail Carson Levine is an amazing author, and some of her other books are good as well, like The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Dave At Night, and The Wish. Her books are definitely fantasies, and more aimed towards girls. I would definitely recommend this book!
