{"product_id":"just-ella-palace-chronicles","title":"Just Ella (Palace Chronicles)","description":"\"Princess, nobody can stop those rumors. People would rather believe in fairy godmothers...than think that you took charge of your own destiny.\"Like every commoner in the land, Ella dreams of going to the ball and marrying Prince Charming. But after she is chosen to marry the prince, life with the royal family is not the \"happily ever after\" that Ella imagined. Pitiless and cold, the royals try to mold her into their vision of a princess. Ella's life becomes a meaningless schedule of protocol, which she fears she will never grasp. And Prince Charming's beautiful face hides a vacant soul.Even as her life turns to misery, the stories persist that Ella's fairy godmother sent her to the ball: How else could the poor girl wear a beautiful gown, arrive in a coach, and dance in those glass slippers? But there is no fairy godmother to help Ella escape the deadening life of the castle. Can she do it on her own?Margaret Peterson Haddix's reconstruction of the Cinderella legend without the magic -- how a commoner could have married the prince -- is a story as richly fascinating as the classic tale.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0689821867\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0689821867.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Margaret Peterson Haddix|René Milot\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
