Ella is blessed? No, I believe the right word would be cursed. When she was but an infant, the fairy Lucinda bestowed on her the gift of obedience; which, quickly turned into a curse. Whenever somebody commands something no matter who it is – Ella has to obey.
Instead of being humble and full of servitude, Ella’s curse makes her rebellious and delightfully spunky. Ella’s kind mother dies leaving her to be watched by a callous father. Who in turn marries Dame Olga for money. Therefore Ella has to learn to put up with an evil step mother and her terrible daughters, Hattie and Olive. Does this sound familiar to you? You guessed it! It’s another Cinderella story, just Cinderella with a twist.
Ella tries to find Lucinda to break the curse, because her life becomes quite unbearable when Hattie discovers her secret. But it is to no avail. Ella will just have to figure out how to break the curse herself. And along the way she’s going to fall in love with a prince, save a kingdom, and have to get home all before the clock strikes twelve!
Parent’s don’t hesitate to pick up a copy of this for your young daughters; this book is clean, innocent fun.
