I enjoy this book, I read it several years ago and finally tracked it down again a few weeks ago. This is a story about a girl who was abandoned at an inn as an infant. She has the prettiest voice, but the ugliest face. But when a duchess takes her to the castle for the royal wedding, her whole live...
I've heard one too many times "it's no Ella". I believe everyone who said that is right. This is better than Ella. This is Aza. Aza was abandoned in an inn when she was a baby.

Her foster parents and siblings love her and she has a beautiful voice, but she still wishes that she was more beautiful. Through a circuitous series of events, she ends up as the lady-in-wa...
I'm sorry--I love Gail Carson Levine's other books, but this one disappointed me. It's supposed to be a retelling of Snow White--but doesn't have the same appeal as other fairy-tale retellings by Levine such as Ella Enchanted. I do not recommend this one, but I recommend Gail Carson Levine's other b...
