I've seen the movie based on Ella Enchanted.But I haven't got hold of the book yet.I have the perfect book for you.
The fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey.In the land of Five Hundred Kingdoms, "Tradition" rules, and everyone is expected to fit into established fairy tales. Enslaved by her wickedly avaricious stepmother and stepsisters, Elena should have had a Cinderella-like life, but when things didn't work out.The prince chosen for her is only 11 years old.So she flees and seeks work. Her fairy godmother, in fact, the fairy godmother of several kingdoms, makes her apprentice fairy godmother, and it's her duty to prevent the bad things that come with Tradition. Her life takes yet another curious turn when, disguised as a crone to test three questing princes, she loses her temper with Prince Alexander. He acts like a donkey, so she turns him into one. Unwilling to let a defenseless donkey wander the woods alone, she takes him home and puts him to work transforming his life.(There are 2 other books in this series.'One Good Knight' has a princess & dragon theme.'Fortunate Fool' is about a sea princess and a Prince.)
'The fire rose' by Mercedes Lackey.In this book 'Beauty and the Beast' is updated to 1905, where fabulously wealthy rail baron and Fire Master Jason Cameron has transformed himself into a wolfman and he needs the help of an tame scholar (female so that she is no threat) to help translate the Magickal texts that will give him clues to breaking the spell. Instead of the mouse he expects, he gets a lioness, Rosalind ('Rose') Hawkins, a classicalist and medievalist whom he has brought from Chicago to his San Francisco estate under false pretenses, supposedly to be a governess to his non-existent children. Penniless, she is more than willing change the terms of the initial agreement to do interesting work in luxurious surroundings, even with someone who may be a madman. She eventually learns the truth about Jason and begins to grow as a Magician herself. But Jason has enemies who do not want him to return to human form and full power, or wish to exploit his power for themselves. And then terror strikes, both from Magickal and natural sources....

The Time Traveler's Wife is my ultimate favorite. It's a hard read if your into books like Ella Enchanted, but it changed my life. It's a romance novel.

I'd have to say Holes. It was an amazing book and I read it long before they put the movie out. I recently was a counselor at a sixth grade camp and I read parts of the book to them each night at lights out time. It was great to know that even though there was a big age difference between us, we were both able to enjoy the same book.

I love, love, love, LOVE the Artemis Fowl series and the Westing game, but Artemis Fowl is a fantasy and a little more in-depth.
Also, I love Fairest by Levine, it's the same author as Ella Enchanted.

I LOVE the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer!!! It's about a girl named Bella who falls in love with this GORGEOUS boy named Edward. She soon, however, finds out that he is a vampire, and that puts her in danger. They go on unbelievable adventures to be able to stay together.
