Rapunzel's Revenge



Hale, S. (2008).  Rapunzel's revenge.  NY:  Bloomsbury.

Mother Gothel, steals Rapunzel from her birth mother, who works in the mines outside the walls of the castle, and raises her as her own.  When Rapunzel finds out the truth, Mother Gothel takes her far out into the forest and locks her up in a tree.  Many years go by and Rapunzel's hair never stops growing.  She is able to get free from the tree by using her long hair.  She searches many villas for her birth mother and finally finds her.  Mother Gothel also finds Rapunzel and cuts her hair off.  They get into a fight and Mother Gothel gets trapped inside the growing, magic tree.  Rapunzel meets a boy named Jack and they fall in love.  This is a spin off of a tradional tale in a comic book setting.  The characters are true to how you would picture them and the setting follows the plot.  The comic book is written as dialogue and Rapunzel thinking in her head.  It is easy to follow and a humorous twist to the classic, Rapunzel.
