Ella Enchanted
How can a fairy's
blessing be such a curse?
At her birth, Ella of Frell was the unfortunate recipient of a foolish
fairy's gift--the "gift' of obedience. Ella must obey any order given to
her, whether it's hopping on one foot for a day and a half, or chopping
off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not tamely accept her
fate. Against a bold backdrop of princes, ogres, giants, wicked
stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella goes on a quest to break the
curse--once and for all.
In this incredible debut novel comes the richly entertaining story of
Ella of Frell, who at birth was given the gift of obedience by a fairy.
Ella soon realizes that this gift is little better than a curse, for how
can she truly be herself if at anytime anyone can order her to hop on
one foot, or cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom'and she'll have to
obey? Against a bold tapestry of princes, ogres, giants, wicked
stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella's quest to break the curse once
and for all and discover who she really is is as sharply funny as
Catherine, Called Birdy and as richly poignant as Beauty, and has all
the marks of a classic in the making.
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
When a plague strikes Bamarre, Princess Addie must save her sister.
Brave and adventureous, Princess Meryl dreams of fighting dragons and
protecting the kingdom of Bamarre. Shy and fearful, Princess Addie is
content to stay within the safety of the castle walls. The one thing
that the sisters share is their unwavering love for each other.
The tables are turned, however, when the Gray Death leaves Meryl fatally
ill. To save her sister, meek Princess Addie must find the courage to
set out on a dangerous quest filled with dragons, unknown magic, and
death itself. Time is running out, and the sisters' lives--and the
future of the kingdom of Bamarre--hang in the balance.
Fairest
Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be pretty . . .
Aza's singing is the fairest in all the land, and the most unusual. She
can "throw"t her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is
only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza
doesn't possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She's hidden in the
shadows in her parents' inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the
new queen, she has to step into the light--especially when the queen
demands a dangerous favor. A magic mirror, a charming prince, a jealous
queen, palace intrigue, and an injured king twine into a maze that Aza
must penetrate to save herself and her beloved kingdom.
