Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, illustrated by Nathan Hale, is a new twist on Rapunzel. After finding out that her "mother" actually kidnapped her from her true family and forced her real parents to work in the mines surrounding her palace, Rapunzel is locked in a "tower." The tower is actually a tree that Mother Gothel grew as a result of her growth magic. After four years, Rapunzel's hair is long enough that she can use it as a means for escape. Her only goal is to return to Mother Gothel's villa, rescue her mother from the mines, and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, Rapunzel's way is filled with thieves, rabid coyotes, devourers, and a host of unpleasant people! Rapunzel and her friend Jack work together to help everyone they can in order to make their way to freedom.This graphic novel is excellent! It was hilarious and touching all at once. I truly enjoyed every moment I spent reading it! I am not usually the biggest fan of graphic novels, but I would highly recommend this one!

i liked this graphic novel, very intresting twist to the classic story of Rapunzel, (but i honestly like Manga(Japanese comics) better...maybe because their longer or something like that(it also has something to do with the art) this story starts out like the original Rapunzel, but then has a twist when Rapunzel wants to take revenge on her "mother" and it has a different end then the original one...
