Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel (Tyme #1), Volume 1, by Megan Morrison

4.0

This is a fun twist on the story of Rapunzel. One of my sixth graders recommended this title to me. I am sadly not a fan of fairytales, so it sat in my “to read “ pile for quite a time. The book cleverly intertwined Rapunzel with Jack of the beanstalk. The first 100 pages were slow. But I had to persist so I could report back to my student. Magically the story gained momentum and I began to care about the characters, even the witch. In true fairytale form, it all worked out in the end leaving the reader ready for the sequel. This is not the caliber of Wicked. It is a preteen to teenager’s novel. For those who like fairytales, this series may be just what you are looking for.
