Rapunzel's Revenge / Shannon Hale et al

Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale ; illustrated by Nathan Hale. 144 pp.

A charming take on the Rapunzel story. This Rapunzel is the star of her own story, though; she gets herself out of the tower and takes action on her own to defeat the nasty witch. The setting is Wild West-influence, so she braids her hair and uses her braids as lassos. The Hales drop in another fairy tale (well, Americana folk tale) character as well, and the crossover works just fine.
