    Once upon a time, in a land very far away, there lived a girl with her mother. Every day as the girl grew and played,
    she also became more and more curious about the world outside.  One day she finally climbed up her wall and
    discovered that she really knew nothing at all.

    And that was when she decided to do something about it.

    Think you know Rapunzel? You’ve never heard it like this!

    With a feisty heroine who uses her ridiculously long hair as a weapon and a sidekick who travels with a goose that
    just might lay a golden egg, RAPUNZEL’S REVENGE takes the traditional tale of Rapunzel and turns it on its
    head.

    Shannon and Dean Hale create a thoroughly entertaining world in which Rapunzel takes claims her life as her own.  
    Follow along as she embarks on a swashbuckling quest to save the world from the evil witch who has held her
    captive in a move that sets the bar for adventurous heroines everywhere.

    Be forewarned: RAPUNZEL’S REVENGE is not for everyone. It is a graphic novel, and while the illustrations are
    gorgeous and highly amusing, some readers may not be drawn in by the format. However, for those who love
    graphic novels, fairy tales, and awesome heroines, this story may be just the thing.

    Happy reading.
