Hale, S., Hale, D., & Hale, N. (2008). Rapunzel's revenge. New York, NY: Bloomsbury.
A retelling of Grimm's fairy tales set in the Wild West, Rapunzel is more than a girl that gets away from evil Gothel. It is creatively written in a graphic novel format which tells of her and her adventures along with Jack and the goose. They are highly sought after and threatened at gunpoint and are imprisoned and escape. It's thrilling and action packed as she fights a boar, killer coyotes, and sea serpents, as well as outlaws as she uses her long hair as a mane and lasso. She eventually frees her real mother, deals with Gothel and finds love with Jack and it is until then that the goose lays a golden egg! This is a perfect book for upper elementary grade level girls who will be able to relate to every emotion Rapunzel experiences to anyone who enjoys humor in comic/graphic novel formats!
