I should have trusted the saying regarding pretty covers… because this is DNF for me. To think that I was convinced this would be THE fairytale of the year. Driven by anger at Jack and her own nameless fears, Rapunzel descends to the ground for the first time, and finds a world filled with more peril than Witch promised … and more beauty, wonder, and adventure than she could have dreamed. He’s the first person Rapunzel’s ever met who isn’t completely charmed by her (well, the first person she’s met at all, really), and he is infuriating– especially when he hints that Witch isn’t telling her the whole truth. Then a thief named Jack climbs into her room to steal one of her enchanted roses. And she knows this because Witch tells her so-her beloved Witch, who protects her from evil princes, the dangerous ground under the tower, even unhappy thoughts. She lives in a magic tower that obeys her every wish she reads wonderful books starring herself as the heroine her hair is the longest, most glorious thing in the world. In all of Tyme, from the Redlands to the Grey, no one is as lucky as Rapunzel. “Think you know Rapunzel’s story? Think again, because the tower was only the beginning…” - Jennifer Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of THE FALSE PRINCE Genres & Themes: Middle Grade, FairyTales, Fairies, Rapunzel Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel by Megan Morrison
