'''''Ella Enchanted''''' by Gail Carson Levine is a [[Twice-Told Tale]] based on the [[Fairy Tale]] "[[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]".
At birth, Ella, the protagonist, is given the "gift" of obedience by Lucinda, a fairy. Thus is Ella [[Blessed with Suck]]. She is forced to obey every direct order given to her, no matter what. Eventually Ella learns to fight the curse, delaying her obedience, but she becomes sick when she tries. She also fights the curse by [[Literal Genie|not doing exactly what is wanted when the wording of an order is not clear enough]].
Line 8 ⟶ 20:
The basics of "Cinderella" are in Ella Enchanted: There is a [[Missing Mom]], then later a [[Wicked Stepmother]]. There is a [[Disappeared Dad]], as Ella's father is often away on business. (The closer the book gets to the climax, the more Cinderella plot elements are included.)
''[[Fairest]]'' is a loose, meta sequel. According to some it is actually a companion, due to the timing.
