We will be reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. How can a fairy's blessing be such a curse? At her birth, Ella was the unfortunate recipient of a foolish fairy's "gift." Ella must obey any order given to her, whether it's hopping on one foot for a day and a half, or chopping off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not tamely 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--once and for all. Recommended for readers in 4th-6th grade.
