Alice series Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

I love this series because it starts out from a young age until she gets older and most books aren’t as well written as these I loved every single one in the series from when she was younger and until she is a young woman her the Alice series almost makes her seem like she’s your best friend I hope you read these books and enjoy them as much as me. There are currently 21 books.

Ella Enchanted Gail Carson Levine, 1997

This story is another version of Cinderella and also happens to be one of my all time favorite fairytales/books. I prefer it way more than the movie but the movie was also good.  She grows up just the same way the other Cinderella does except she has a terrible spell cast on her. All Ella wants is to live a normal life but when her stepsisters learn about her and what she has to do they make her life even worse. So when Ella finds out who her fairy godmother is she wants her to take the spell away unfortunately her magic isn’t that strong and Ella has to find out how to do it herself.  Follow her journey through elves, magic, giants, and a prince.
