Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
5.0

Ella of Frell is given a gift if obedience at birth. No matter what, she has to follow any order given to her. After her mother's death, her father sends her off to boarding school and she goes on a quest to find the fairy Lucinda to get her to lift the curse.

This book was my absolute favorite growing up. Ella is strong and funny and many young girls can relate to her. The book is wonderful, however, do not see the movie. It is nothing like the book and completely awful. Even though I am an adult now, I still read it every year.
