Ella Enchanted
Sirena is made immortal when she falls in love with Philoctetes, a human marooned on her island. As her lover attempts to make it back to the Greek mainland, Sirena is horrified with the idea of watching him grow old while she never ages. This story of true love, woven though Greek mythology and bits of magical mermaid songs, is a real-page-turner. ---Becky

Imagine
a young man just trying to do the best he can. Unfortunately,
what he does isn't good enough. He is cursed by a fairy and must
leave his home in order to escape death by his father's hands.
The only way he can overcome the curse is to get a woman to love
him, but that won't be easy since part of the curse has turned
him into a lion. ---Laura 
Do
you remember the story of Rumblstilskin? This book will make you
question what you recall. A
poor tailor, who is in love with a beautiful girl, can
only secure the permission of the girl's father for her hand in
marriage by agreeing to make a golden wedding dress for the bride-to-be.The
tailor cripples himself while spinning straw into golden thread
on a stolen wheel. Ashamed by the tailor's deformity, the girl
ends up marrying a miller twice her age, and she dies giving birth
to a girl who is really the tailor's daughter. As the girl grows
up with the miller, she becomes a master spinner, but her life
appears to be doomed when the miller boasts to the king that "his
daughter" can spin straw into gold. Now the story begins
to sound familiar. But will it end the samy\e way the fairy tale
does?
This
book is about a girl named Ella who is under a spell of obedience.
The story follows her as she goes on a quest to find the only
person who can break her spell. This is a great book that takes
place in a magical fairyland. I really recommend this book, especially
for Harry Potter fans.
