Title: Ella Enchanted
Author: Gail Carson Levine
Year Published: 1997
Publisher: Harper Collins
Plot Summary: When Ella of Frell was born she was given the "gift" of obediance. With the support of her mother and fairy godmother Lucinda, she tries to make it through each day without getting into too much trouble, but when her mother dies, her father bankrupts them, and she meets Hattie, Olive and their Mother, Dame Olga and Hattie orders Ella around and Ella must exactly what she's told, things take a frightening turn.
Why I recommend the book: I bought it off ebay on a whim, and so far, i've only picked it up twice, but it's so easy to read, it practically reads it itself! I didn't even know the book existed till a week ago, but now i'm 2/3 through it, and i'm loving it - there's much more detail to the characters, and there are a lot of little bits of information that weren't important, but made sense in the continuing plot of the book. if you liked the movie, then find yourself a copy and have a read.
