Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix
3.0
3 stars
I appreciate this book so much. Ella is such a wonderful, strong, powerful character — but not in the way of usual YA protagonists. She’s resourceful, with a healthy idea of her own self-worth. She recognizes the problems of society and the people around her, and is able to pinpoint that they are not right and she should not change for them. This book is so subversive of the worse parts of the Cinderella story, and I’d give it to any young girl.
