About this listen
So begins this richly entertaining story of Ella of Frell, who wants nothing more than to be free of Lucinda's gift and feel that she belongs to herself. For how can she truly belong to herself if she knows that at any time, anyone can order her to hop on one foot, cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom, and she'll have to obey?
Against a bold tapestry of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters and fairy godmothers, Ella's spirited account of her quest to break the curse is a funny, poignant and enchanting tale about an unforgettable heroine who is determined to be herself.
Ella Enchanted is a 1998 Newbery Medal Honor Book and a major motion picture.

Newbery Honor Book, 1998
"Eden Riegel's high, childlike voice is the consummate match for this first-person narrative. Her sweet-voiced Ella, under the dominion of a vulgar stepmother and duplicitous stepsisters, reveals the gift of obedience (from fairy Lucinda) to be a scourge that only someone of Ella's sensitivity and intelligence would have the means to outwit. Riegel's smooth delivery of the exotic languages of the elves, gnomes, giants, and ogres enhances the fantasy element while occasional interludes of music add to the medieval air of the story. A lively and satisfying reading of the 1998 Newbery Honor Book." (AudioFile magazine)
"A winning combination of memorable characters and an alluring fantasy realm." (Publishers Weekly) "A high-spirited, comic first novel." (The New York Times Book Review)

Good book, bad audio book
I love this book, but the quality of this audiobook was poor. The narrator sounded too young, the music awkward, and the editing in some parts was awful - random big pauses, to the point of me wondering if the app crashed. Read the book instead.

it's a cute sweet little book
this is a precious little story it's fun it's cute it's a quick little read or listen it's delightfully charming the characters are sweet and koi it's not a groundbreaking novel or book but it is something that's just nice to have I would definitely recommend this for anybody looking for a book for a set of youth were they want to have the concept of Independence presented to them it's sweet.

The voice
I really enjoy this story and I was excited to listen to it while on my morning drive. However, then I started the audio book I found I could not listen to the voice of the speaker due to her tone. I am dishearten about this.
