Rated 3 starsFun, but didn't leave much of an impression.
I thought I would like this book a lot, but for some reason it was just okay. It lacked some kind of oomph to really stand out from the average graphic novel. Still good, but I would probably recommend borrowing it from the library instead of buying it.

Rated 5 starsAs clever as it is good-humored

Rapunzel's Revenge takes place in a fairy-tale-version of the American west, in which standard fairy tale tropes are recast in western idioms. The main character is Rapunzel, a young girl raised...

Rated 5 starsA fun change...
I loved this book!! Being mother of 4 and loving the Young Adult books that Hale so beautifully writes, I was just excited for her next book. Then I got it in the mail and saw that it was a comic book! I was so surprised, but very happy. I sat down and started reading with my 8 year old daughter and my 6 year old son. They LOVED IT! I would find them reading it in their rooms when they were supposed to be doing chores,...
