Ella Enchanted #4
“The Kingdom of Frell”
By: Gail Carson Levine
At her birth, Ella of Frell receives a foolish fairy's gift—the “gift” of obedience. Ella must obey any order, whether it's to hop on one foot for a day and a half, or to chop off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not accept her fate... Against a bold backdrop of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella goes on a quest to break the curse forever. A tween favorite for 25 years—now shared with today's young readers by moms, teachers, and other adults who remember the pleasure of discovering this fun fairy-tale retelling themselves!

Ella Enchanted #4 is a 3D recreation of the map of Frell (the magical land where Ella’s story takes place). It was created using a repurposed thrift store book and various textured papers and ink sketches - kids will enjoy the tiny details and remembering where various parts of the story takes place.
This display would pair wonderfully with Levine’s novels, or would be a great visual aid while teaching a unit on fractured fairy tales. Other suggested learning activities available upon request.
