Ella Enchanted

This story is based on Gail Carson Levine’s novel of the same name. It tells about Ella, a young girl who received a “gift of obedience” from Lucinda. Ella must follow all instructions. Her mother dies and she is left to care for her father, a selfish and greedy man who marries an uncaring woman with two naive daughters. The modern fairytale Cinderella tale features fairies and ogres, as well as Prince Charmont who Ella falls for. She must rely on her own intelligence and self-reliance to help her get through the difficulties and to find Lucinda to break her curse. –M. C. Gomez
