Ella Enchanted: A Newbery Honor Award Winner (Trophy Newbery)

This beloved Newbery Honor-winning story about a feisty heroine is sure to enchant readers new and old.

At her birth, Ella of Frell receives a foolish fairy's gift—the “gift” of obedience. Ella must obey any order, whether it's to hop on one foot for a day and a half, or to chop off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not accept her fate...

Against a bold backdrop of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella goes on a quest to break the curse forever.

A tween favorite for 25 years—now shared with today's young readers by moms, teachers, and other adults who remember the pleasure of discovering this fun fairy-tale retelling themselves!

I had the pleasure of re-reading this today - not only is it one of the most favored and beloved books in my childhood collection (and in my memory) - it also reminded me of some of the aspects of reading I cherish most - a cosy story to curl up with and get lost in, a strong sense of adventure, fantastical creatures, settings and languages and a heroine that is determined, strong-willed, just, and full of life - and a happy ending never hurts does it? This book delighted me as a child and brought much joy to me again now in adulthood - I hope I never tire of it!
