A lot of things just happened in this book. Ella was sent away to finishing school. But then she ran away because she didn't like it and much more. So then she went to look for the fairy that gave her her curse. But then, Ogres are a bout to eat her. Char then comes along and saves her and Ella found the fairy she was looking for. The fairy refused to take back the gift. Ella made it home safetly but then her father became poor. Then he almost forced Ella to get married but he got married instead of marrying off her. Then he got married to the mother of the two girls that she hates so they're sisters now. Ella meets back with Char, the prince, and hangs-out with him for a while while her parents get married because the fairy is down the stairs in the castle that they were in, and Ella did not want to see the fairy any more.

Next, I think that Ella might go look for Lucinda, the fairy, and try to beg her to undo the curse.
Maybe then her new sisters will boss her around more and become her worst enemy. Maybe then Ella's new mom will not like that they are poor and try to get a devorce. The thing is that Lucinda gave a curse to them at the wedding, so that they have to stay married forever, or at least until they die. Maybe Ella will get her worst command ever and hopefully, like the movie, she will undo the curse.

Throughout the whole book I always wonder why someone can't tell her to stop obeying. It could be possible that they already tried and that didn't work. Or that they already know that it won't work because in the begining of the book it said that no other person or fairy could undo the curse. I would really like one of them to at least try it and who knows? Maybe it would work.

A few of my favorite characters so far in this book are Char and Ella. I like Ella because she keeps trying to get this curse un-done and she won't give up. Pluse she seems so nice and fun to be around, even though she does everything she's asked and she's clumsy. I like Char because he just seems so nice and down-to-earth. I really like reading this book because it is just so fun to read and it makes you want to know what is going to happen next, even though it has Ogres and Fairies in it. :)
