Summary: "How can a fairy's blessing be such a curse? At her birth, Ella of Frell was given a foolish fairy's gift—the "gift" of obedience. Ella must obey any order given to her, whether it's hopping on one foot for a day or chopping off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not tamely accept her fate. She goes on a quest, encountering ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, fairy godmothers, and handsome princes, determined to break the curse—and live happily ever after."

My review: This book is much like Cinderella with some twists. Not at all like the movie!!! The book is way better!

I recommend this book for girls and boys (though boys might not want to read it) who are ages 8-11, or grades 3-6.
