Just Ella is an updated and revisited Cinderella tale with an escape twist. Ella (note the derivative of Cinderella) rebels and disagrees with authority figures. She discovers that happiness is in the eye of the beholder.
This book probably would be good reading for grades 6-7. There are challenging vocabulary words. The storylines are multiple and interwoven. On a score of 1-10 (with 10 the highest) this scores a 6.
