Ella can not wait to be free of  lucinda's awful gift and finely be herself, but its intro that easy as she knows at an moment anyone can order her to Hop on one foot, betray her friend, marry a prince....






MY REVIEW:
I decided to read this because I had watched the film. At first I loved the film but then I read the book and realised the film was terrible compared to the book. From the moment I read this first page I was completely hooked it took me two days (4 hours if I read non-stop) This was very enjoyable however there are slightly tricky words that I stumbled on a bit as this book is written in a old English style.

Ella is a great role model as she is caring and kind but also feisty and outgoing.

 I would definitely recommend this for fans of the hobbit, Harry Potter and fairy tales.

 This was a re-mix of the well known fairy tale Cinderella, it features a glass slipper, fairy godmother and pumpkin carriage as well as two wonderfully described step sisters ( Hattie and Olive) This is the sort of book you wish never ends and it is way too short.

It is set in the world war about a girl called Olive and her brother Cliff who get evacuated to Devon and their sister Sukie who mysteriously disappeared in a raid. This is definitely one to watch out for and an incoming ...
