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.
©1998 Gail Carson Levine (P)1998 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint of Random House Audio Publishing GroupCritic Reviews
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)

Still my favourite
I first read this book as a 12 year old, and 16 years later it still resonates with me. Ella is such a wonderful role model--thoughtful and resilient--and the story is, more than anything else, a tale about the importance of consent. I have only ever reread my own well-loved copy of the book, but listening to it on audiobook was a wonderful new way to experience the tale. Riegel captured Ella's personality well in her performance, and made Levine's words sparkle.

Such a beautiful story
The story is so wonderful! The film is ruined for me forever but I don't care a whit, as this is now a cherished favorite.
I wasn't sure about the youth of the narrator st first, but she quickly won me over, and gave me a delightful experience I shall revisit often.
In case you couldn't tell, I loved it!
