Hale, S. (2008). Rapunzel’s revenge. NY: Bloomsbury.
The happily ever after coming from this story is different from the happily ever after from the original story, but yet it is much more empowering. Wheras in Rapunzel's mother was just, you know, a typical evil kidnapping mother, here there's so much more that she is responsible for. Witty and funny, Rapunzel's Revenge takes on a different direction of adventure for after escaping from the very tall tower, she takes it upon herself, of course with also the help of her faithful companion, to undo a lot of the harm cauased by her evil "mother."
My son read this after I finished with it, or at least I think he got through most of it. I expcted him to lose interest but was pleasantly surprised to see him with the book for a couple of days. He hesitated at first because, well you know, fairy tales are for girls, but was quickly drawn in by the adventures taken on by Rapunzel. He also enjoyed the graphics. "Mom! It's like I'm reading a comic book!!!" nd whether he felt fairy tales are for girls or not, he enjoyed it.
