Ella was a very obedient person but maybe a little too obedient.
She had to do every-thing she was told to because her fairy godmother
Lucinda gave her the gift of obedience and also a word curse. Something that
really happened in the book is that one of her stepsisters told her to go and
steal a pear of really expensive glass slippers. But do you know where she lives? Well if you guessed in a far away
lonesome castle then you are 100% correct! If you ask why she is royal? The
answer is her dad is the king. My
favorite part is the ending because it is so much like a fairy tale but I
didn’t like the beginning so well. But I would recommend this book to anyone
who likes fairy tales and terrific endings.
