Ella est une petite princesse au destin tout tracé. Cependant, Ella est différente. Elle aspire à devenir une sorcière. Étrange n’est-ce pas ? Et pourtant, Ella rêve bien de liberté et de grands pouvoirs magiques. La princesse partira pour une grande aventure humaine au cœur de la forêt des Bois Maudits. Et si la vrai magie n'était pas celle des chaudrons, des sortilèges ou des balais volants, mais celle qui nous unit aux êtres chers à nos cœurs ?
Un conte initiatique qui séduira les petits comme les grands.
En faveur de l'acceptation de soi et de la compassion, cet album jeunesse défie les stéréotypes habituels des personnages féminins dans l'édition jeunesse traditionnelle qui supposent que toutes les petites filles veulent être une princesse ou bien que toutes les princesses veulent le rester. Un récit qui interroge et émerveille...
