Rapunzel's Revenge

Hale, S. (2008). Rapunzel's revenge. New York, NY: Bloomsbury U.S.A. Children's Books.

Rapunzel's curiousity is sparked one day when she peaks out of the grand villa where she lived. She was shocked to find that things looked very different from where she lived. She also found that Gothel was not really her mother. After being locked up in a tall tree for many years, Rapunzel sets out to save her real mother. When Rapunzel finds many uses for her long hair, she has the potential to accomplish her goal. With the help of her new friend, Jack, they are able to put a stop to Gothel and her powers. The dangers and adventures the two confront are sure to keep readers intrigued. The reader will see how Rapunzel develops into a true hero through her journey to overcome Gothel's evil.

As an extension, have students discuss how the story of Rapunzel's Revenge change if Rapunzel did not grow her long hair. What other quality would she have that would help her in her journey?
