Gail Carson Levine brings this enchanting book to life in Ella Enchanted!
What a wonderful book! I have a 2 year old and an 8 year old, and the 8 year old read it with me. We just finished it today. I think it was geared towards the older ones, so if your child is a bit scared of violence like mine, wait until he/she's at least 10. I am going to wait until my 2 year old is at least 10 because the 8 year old was very scared at parts. Overall, a great book! I am very pleased with my purchase and think Gail Carson Levine is a fabulous writer with a big imagination.

What a fantastic book! A must-read for parents and children over the age of 10
What a wonderful book! Written again by the fame-struck Gail Carson Levine. My kids both loved it and they are 8 and 11. I think it was a little too violent for my 8 year old, but she liked it anyway! She's a toughie and was trembling at the violent parts, so I'd say this book is better for 9 or 10 year olds...
