ANNOTATION:
A modern telling of a classic fairy tale, set in the Wild West.
BOOKTALK:
All fairy tale princesses have loving parents, spend their days talking to animals (who actually talk back!), and eventually fall in love with a handsome rescuer. And hey, what do you know, he happens to be a prince too.
Well, not in this story. Rapunzel is in the clutches of her "mother" Gothel; that name alone gives one the creeps. In anger, Gothel shuts up Rapunzel in a tree, where quick as lightening Rapunzel's hair grows faster then it would take you to jump out of your seat. And boy does she discover what she can do with that hair.
Whether it is wild coyotes, monstrous boars, a gang of thieves, you name it, Punzie, as her friends call her, is stopping anything blocking her way. It's time to put an end to Gothel's reign, and find out where Rapunzel's real mother is.
Saddle up and join the ride! You will never look at fairy tales the same way again after reading Rapunzel's Revenge.
