Features: This is a novel full of courage and humor. The little protagonist, Ella, is given a terrifying gift by a fairy at birth—the obligation to obey, meaning she must follow the orders of anyone without question. This makes her constantly into trouble, conflict, and pain. However, Ella, with her clever, brave, and rebellious personality, overcomes every danger on her journey to seek freedom and discover herself. She cleverly tames a monster, makes friends with elves, and falls in love with a prince. At the grand masquerade ball in the palace, she endures physical and emotional pain to save her beloved prince, fiercely fighting against the spell.
