5 STARS: I LOVED IT!!!
My Thoughts:
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine is the book that started my love of reading. I didn’t read much growing up. I worked harder NOT reading the books assigned in high school English than to just read the books. In college I studied Early Childhood Education and took a children’s literature class. Ella Enchated was the first book I was assigned to read in the class. I LOVED IT!! I’ve been in love with children’s books ever since.
Ella Enchanted is a re-telling of Cinderella. I like how Ella doesn’t fall in love with the prince right away. They meet when they’re young and have a wonderful friendship for a few years. It’s very different from the movie made in 2004. Fun movie, but VERY different from the book.
What book started your love of reading?
Happy Reading!

I'm not sure which book was the VERY first…possibly My Father's Dragon when I was REALLY young, but the first book I remember being totally in love with was True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. I have since obtained a copy but I'm thinking I had to black out a swear word last time I read it…so it may not go with Clean Teen Fiction…
