I loved this book and i am going to read it over and over again!!!!!! This book was about a girl named Ella. When she was 1 hour old she was given this so called "gift" by a fairy named Lucinda. When her mother died she was sent to Finishing School with her soon to be step-sisters, Hattie and Olive. On her journey Hattie figures out that Ella always has to be obedient. When they get back home, Ella's dad has to marry Dame Olga to re-earn his wealth. Hattie tells Dame Olga that Ella is obedient and they make her a servant. To know what happens in the rest of the book, you have to read it.

Lives inI rate this title on for age 9 and give itmy favorite book ever!
this may not be the BEST book i've ever read, but it is my absolute favorite. the atmosphere, the characters, the struggle, the triumph- they are all so real. when someone is an writer because they love to write, not an author because they want to be rich or famous, it shows. and it shouts out at you from every page of this book. i recommend it to everyone.
