Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine
Ella Enchanted was one of my absolute favorite books growing up. I love Ella's spunkiness, I love the creativity of the plot despite the Cinderella cliche, I love the first person narrative. And, having not read it in perhaps over ten years, I was reminded how absurd and awful the film version actually is. Why could they have not just stuck with the perfect story in front of them? It's far more intriguing, compelling, and there is no room for horrifying musical numbers!
Regardless, this was a wonderful kick start to my summer reading list! Read it if you haven't yet, and if you have, read it again!
