I loved that so much that I immediately set my sights on the only other book under this name.

		<description><![CDATA[The field of comics, also sometimes known as graphic novels, is dominated by male creators and readers. However, there's been increasing push in the last few decades by women to enter the field and make their mark. Though comics drawn by women are gaining popularity, most are classified as "indie," distributed by small publishers that may not be able to advertise or place volumes in prominent bookstores.

Gail Carson Levine&#8217;s Ella Enchanted is immerses you in Ella&#8217;s world, giving you a best friend as well as an adventure. Then Hollywood got their hands on it. And THEY RAPED IT.
