Summary
In this prequel to Ella Enchanted, which can stand on its own, young healer Evie is transformed into an ogre by the meddling fairy Lucinda. She'll turn back only if someone proposes and she accepts! Returning to the land and many of the characters from her beloved Newbery Honor-winning Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine has written a tale about a clever and endearing heroine who is determined to defy expectations. Evie is happiest when she is healing people, diagnosing symptoms, and prescribing medications, with the help of her devoted friend (and test subject) Wormy. So when Wormy unexpectedly proposes to her, she kindly turns him down; she has far too much to do to be marrying anyone. And besides, she simply isn't in love with him. But a certain meddling fairy named Lucinda has been listening in, and she doesn't approve of Evie's rejection. Suddenly, Evie finds herself transformed from a girl into a hideous, hungry ogre. Evie now has only sixty-two days to accept another proposal--or else be stuck as an ogre forever.
