If you've read Harry Potter, try Ella Enchanted' - Publishers Weekly
Ella Enchanted is a witty, refreshing take on the popular fairytale
Cinderella, which preserves the spirit of the original but adds plenty
of humorous twists and a spunky, intelligent female protagonist.
Ella is given a blessing at birth by a very stupid fairy: the gift
of obedience! But the blessing turns into a horror for Ella, who
literally has to do what anyone and everyone tells her, from sweeping
the floor to giving up a precious necklace! She has to battle with
ogres and wicked stepsisters, make friends and lose them, and even deny
she loves her Prince Char to save his life and his kingdom.
The story overthrows the stereotypes of the original Cinderella
when Ella breaks the curse - saving not only herself, but Prince Char
as well. The curse is only broken because she says 'No!' rather than
'Yes!'. Ella rejects Prince Char's proposal of marriage, only to later
propose to him!
