| cookiemonsta9's Full Review: Margaret Peterson Haddix - Just Ella |
Just Ella by Margret Peterson Haddix, my favorite author, is at it again in this twisted fairy-tale epilouge. What story does it add on too? Cinderella! But want to know what happens AFTER the happily-ever-after? AFTER the credits? If so, this is the book your looking for.
Cinders Ella is living with her stepmother and two evil and rude stepsisters. She goes to the ball, as the story goes, and falls in love with Prince Charming. But she notices that the castle life is boring and dull, and the more she thinks about it she wonders if marrying the prince is the right choice or not.
This is a good book for girls, no guys allowed! He he! But anyways, it's a love story, so if your not that type of girl, then this is NOT for you! But I liked the book, because it was heartwarming and sweet.
I recommend this book because it is good and a new twist on the fairy-tale we all know. But it is a bit slow-going at times and anyone that wants complete action 24/7, steer away from this book! Even though I don't love slow-going books, this one was an exeption. It's like Wicked, but its AFTER the story, not before, and on CINDERELLA, not Wizard of Oz (but I also recommend seeing the play Wicked).
So pick up this book, or others by Haddix, for Just the Right Read!!!
