The Girl’s Rating: ★★★☆☆
A review by The Girl (age 11)
Rapunzel’s Revenge is a graphic novel about a girl named Rapunzel with really long hair who lives with a lady named Gothel. Rapunzel thought Gothel was her mother, until one day she gets over the wall and finds her real mom but is ripped away. During the story, Rapunzel meets up with a man named Jack, and they work together to stop Gothel’s evil plan.
I really liked the illustrations in Rapunzel’s Revenge because they were so detailed you felt like you were in the story. Even if you were reading a part that’s just talking or a part filled with action, it was always interesting, and you always want to know what happens next.
I thought it was interesting that this version of Rapunzel was set in the Wild West, but the one part I thought was kind of cheesy was when Rapunzel first got over the wall and almost right away found her mother. Overall, this was one of my favorite graphic novels.
Disclosure: The Girl borrowed Rapunzel’s Revenge from the public library.

Sounds like an interesting take on an older story! I really loved that Disney version, Tangled. I know Wiggles loves it too, especially the parts with the horse.

Tangled is a hit in our house, too. We’ve got it saved on the DVR and watch it over and over. I flipped through this book, and it seemed a lot like Tangled to me.

Love The Girl’s confidence in making critical analytical remarks! (love The Girl’s reviews, as you all know!) :–) (…which is not to say I don’t love The Mom’s reviews as well! LOL)

LOL Jill! What’s funny is that I chuckled when I read “cheesy” and right away she says “but, Mom, you’re always telling me to give my honest opinion.” So true!
