Rapunzel's Revenge

 Hale, S. (2008).   Rapunzel’s revenge.  NY:  Bloomsbury.

In this wild west fairy-tail version, Rapunzel is banished to a treehouse, after telling Gothel that she saw her real mother working in the mines.  Rapunel's hair grows long enough for her to escape, she meets Jack (seemingly from Jack and the Beanstalk) and eventually reunites with her mother, after saving her.  The colorful artwork is necessary for the movement of the story.  Readers are engaged through the pictures and the use of funny dialogue.  In the classroom, this book could be used to compare against other versions of the traditional tale.  Here is a trailer for the book, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4_Slu5J67M .
