Ella Enchanted was the first chapter book my grandmother read to me as a child. We both loved the humor and fresh take on a fairy tale. I lost my grandmother during the pandemic, and reread Ella Enchanted recently. It took me back to those days curling up on the couch with her and devouring a good read. I will forever be grateful for those memories.
I love how strong the voices are in your books. Ella made me feel like a smart aleck, clumsy girl could be the hero of a story. Thank you for writing heroines that are real and flawed and funny. I appreciate your words!

I am a part of a girl scouts' troop, and in order to earn my BookAdventurer badge I have to contact an author of one of my favorite books. So, I chose you. I love all your books, but my favorite is Ella Enchanted. It is my aunt's favorite book too. In fact, she used to HATE reading until she read Ella, and now she is an author herself. I would love to be an author someday, and your books have inspired me. Also, Katyra is a pen name
I wanted to express how pivotal Ella Enchanted was in my adolescent years and how it was a constant source of comfort for me as a became a young woman (ages 9 to now 33). I’ve probably (unashamedly) read Ella’s tale 20 times at the least, and eventually listened to it via audiobook after rediscovering my love for your writing in the last year or so. Because of Ella, I’ve been encouraged to laugh in the face of danger and to enjoy a playful spirit regardless of circumstance.
I just finished Fairest (for the second time) and truly appreciate how Aza blossoms throughout the novel and beautifully juxtaposes Ella’s tale.
I am better because of your writing and truly enjoy the wit that comes through each heroine you’ve created (After reading or listening to most of your works). Thank you for your literary art!

Dear Mrs. Levine,
I am a thirteen year old homeschooler and book lover.
I first read Ella Enchanted over a year ago and loved it. A few months ago I was at a bookstore and when I saw Ella Enchanted and Fairest. I bought them.
Since then I have read eight of your books, and right now I am working on The Two Princesses of Bamarre and enjoying it immensely.
Dear Gail Carson Levine,
I just wanted to say that I have read almost all your books and I love them. Ella Enchanted is one of my all time favorite books. I also loved reading your books about writing that you wrote from your blog. I just wanted to let you know I took a prompt from your book Writer to Writer about telling the story of an object from their point of view. I am writing a short story from the point of view of the Titanic. I have lots of resources and facts that I am reading so that it will be, for the most part, all true facts. Anyway, thank you for your blog, books, and all your advice in your writing books. I wish you the best in your future writing adventures, not that you need it or anything.
