Rapunzel is not your average teenager.
For one thing, she has a serious illness that keeps her inside the mysterious Gothel Mansion.
And for another, her hair is 15 feet long.
Not to mention that she’s also the key to ultimately saving the world from certain destruction.
But then she meets a boy named Fane, who changes all she has ever known, and she decides to risk everything familiar to find out who she really is.

What a FUN concept to bring in modern-day Facebook and texting into an age-old classical fairytale 🙂
This book is filled with romance, adventure, mystery, and humor…
My favorite part is when Fane is trying to figure out what name the initial RG comes from…And not seeing a picture of her he asks… “Are you hot?”
Rapunzel is baffled and wonders how he can figure out her name by the temperature of the room she is in…
Yes…Rapunzel is so sheltered and Fab Fane has to explain EVERYTHING to her…BUT Rapuzel is a quick learner 🙂
I really, really, really loved this book!
This was a fun modern-day retelling of the Rapunzel story! In some ways it was very similar to the well-known version of the tale (at least the one I know best), but I loved the modern twists! My least favorite part of the story was the magic element — parts of it were a bit confusing at times. But overall a great choice if you love fairy tales!
