by Shannon Hale
Shannon Hale has a knack for fairy tales. She is adept at retelling classics as well as creating her own.
In her first graphic novel she puts a whole new spin on the well known story of Rapunzel. You can forget just about everything you already knew about this character because Hale reinvents her into a fun and surprising heroine.
This Rapunzel doesn't wait to be rescued. She takes action, joins forces with a boy named Jack, and sets out to save her homeland from the villainous Mother Gothel.
The witty characters and fantastic illustrations done by Nathan Hale (no relation to the author) make this book enjoyable and memorable.
The adventures continue in the sequel, Calamity Jack, where the story is told through the viewpoint of Rapunzel's friend.
