Just Ella

by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Ella is betrothed to a prince, but she's not sure she likes being a "princess". She has to take etiquette lessons, and sew needlepoint, and never ever go outside. When she meets with the prince, they are chaperoned, and it's too formal. She hates it, but it helps her find out that she doesn't love the prince. When she tells him, he ties her up and has her thrown in the dungeon. But Ella esapes by digging a hole. She's free, but where does she go now? And does she live happily ever after? This version of Cinderella may surprise you.
