Just Ella

The Palace Chronicles, Book 1
Apr 20, 2016
I discovered Margaret Peterson Haddix about ten years ago and would consider her one of the best YA authors out there. "Just Ella" takes the Cinderella story and addresses what happens AFTER the ball. She is now living in the castle training to be a princess. She discovers a world she didn't know existed and doesn't like. People are trying to turn her into someone else, there are stories going around about how she got the ball, and the handsome prince is boring. She wants out, but they are not going to let her go. She ends up in a dungeon with a dangerous guard. She will have to save herself! This is NOT a book for young readers. Recommended by Linda
