Rapunzel's Revenge

#

Content Ratings

Mild Romance
Rapunzel and Jack's bickering friendship develops into a gentle romantic connection; the content is sweet and age-appropriate.
Light Themes
The novel celebrates resourcefulness, female agency, and the power of finding allies; themes are light, adventurous, and empowering.
Mild Violence
Action-adventure sequences with Rapunzel's hair as a weapon, confrontations with bandits and magical threats, are exciting and comic rather than graphic.
Synopsis

A graphic novel retelling of Rapunzel set in the American West, where Rapunzel escapes her tower, uses her magical hair as a lasso and whip, and teams up with a wisecracking boy named Jack—of beanstalk fame—to defeat the sorceress Gothel and free the enslaved workers of a mine. Funny, feminist, and action-packed. A hugely entertaining reimagining.
